Faculty-to-Faculty Lunches

Faculty-to-Faculty Lunches are opportunities for small groups of faculty to get together for informal conversation about issues related to teaching and learning. Each lunch focuses on a different theme. The faculty members listed for each lunch are moderators: they will share their experiences and guide the discussion.

The Center for Teaching and Learning provides lunch for all those who register in advance. To encourage interactive discussion, registration is limited to ten faculty.
