  Faculty Mentor Lunch

  Center for Teaching, Learning and Research

  For the new and not so new! The CTLR welcomes faculty of all ages and experiences to come enjoy lunch together and to engage with new faculty colleagues in a discussion about evaluating teaching. Teaching is one of a few key elements of faculty work, and in this lunchtime conversation, we’ll shine a light on what folks have gained through feedback from course response forms, in-class visits, mid-semester check-ins, etc, while also making space for how those evaluations can be tricky to navigate and learn from.
