As part of Campus Conversations, breakfast or lunch with the Provost
is an opportunity for faculty to share their stories, insights
and lessons about teaching with the Provost. These events take
place each semester, whether it be a breakfast with Teaching Scholars,
various campus departments or at the regional campuses. Does it
have to be a breakfast? Not at all! Would you like to participate?
Let us know!
An
open Letter from Provost Paul Gaston:
I have thought often of the reflections on good
teaching that have taken place at our “breakfast conversations.”
Despite the variety of our respective disciplines, we shared many
values and aspirations. Above all, there was a sense of exhilaration
we all seemed to feel when discussing our most challenging and
rewarding teaching experiences. (I don’t believe that was
simply the caffeine). I very much appreciate these breakfasts
(and lunches) and the sharing with colleagues the deep commitments
that draw us all together into this university. I look forward
to our next conversation on teaching.
