Teaching and Learning Retreat

Join us December 1 for a day to work on the design or redesign of learning tasks, assessments, or experiential learning opportunities in Werklund courses and programs. You and your team may also use the time to write together, prepare a grant, or award application. You may also consider using the digital creation studio for podcasting or other multimedia development. Invite your graduate students or postdoctoral scholars and sessional instructors involved in the course(s)/program to join your team for the retreat.  We will provide a light lunch for the retreat, so please register by November 22, 2023.
