5. Call for Proposals for the CSU Symposium on Teaching and Learning accepted through November 26!
This year’s theme for the CSU Symposium on Teaching and Learning is IDEAS: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Student Success. This theme provides an opportunity for participants to explore topics crucial to the success of higher education. As educators, it is imperative that we continually acknowledge the valuable life experiences that all learners, including ourselves, bring to our educational environment. The purpose of the symposium is to challenge our biases, affirm our commitment to current best practices in inclusive pedagogy, acknowledge the achievements of our peers, encourage one another, and recharge ourselves as educators. Please join us as we celebrate what faculty are doing and explore ways that we can improve education for the next generation.
