Roundtable
Discussion Series
During the 2002-03 academic year, academic affairs will
sponsoring several informal conversations on various issues. The roundtable
discussions will be held several times each semester during the commons
hour on Monday afternoons from 1:30-2:45. No roundtables have
been scheduled during the fall semester.
All Xavier faculty are invited to share their experiences and knowledge
during the roundtable sessions. Some of the topics of roundtable
discussions will follow issues raised by previous faculty development
pedagogy workshops. These dates will be useful to both faculty who
attended or did not attend the workshops.
We invite your suggestions for topics for future roundtable discussions.
Please contact Mary
Walker (ext. 4236) with your ideas.
