Nurturing Learning: What Is, What Was, What Could Be | |
|
We are excited to open registration for this year’s Teaching and Learning Symposium! We are thrilled to announce that more than 50 of our colleagues will be facilitating workshops, world cafés and seeding sessions.
We are also pleased to announce two highly regarded keynote speakers: Dr. Maha Bali (April 24, online) and Dr. Johanna Sam (Apr. 25, in-person). You will experience their distinct and varied approaches to centering care, equity, social justice and belonging for diverse student populations like ours.
We are confident that you will be inspired with practical take-aways on how to nurture learning for our diversity of learners at CapU in the age of Generative AI!
