"Your Research/My Research:  Integrating Faculty/Student Research Agendas" 
Thursday October 14 12:30 - 1:30 PM Campus Center 106 (Plymouth County Room)

In a world where faculty value both their research programs and teaching missions, how can we do both in a way that is satisfying and productive?  We will meet to share ideas about harnessing the energy, creativity and inspiration of the engaged classroom to produce research, creative works, and scholarship of teaching and learning.  This is possible even in Core and introductory courses.  Some faculty will share lived examples of student-faculty collaborations, student project-inspired faculty research, course content-related projects, etc.; others can explore new ideas and strategies that have or have not worked.  Participants will leave with both new ideas for teaching and research and information on relevant campus resources.

Facilitated by Catherine Womack (SYS Coordinator), Maura Rosenthal (FYS Coordinator), Steve Haefner (ATP Coordinator)
