SUMMARY:Teaching and Learning in an Age of Precarious Student Visas
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, there has been a dramatic increase in student visa cancellations and other challenges to students’ ability to remain in the US. How can we as instructors respond to these changes? What are strategies we can use to support our students in the classroom during these difficult times\, especially those students who are potentially at an increased risk of deportation? \nPlease join us for a panel discussion on issues surrounding teaching and learning given the current state of the U.S. student visa system. We are bringing together WashU experts on migration and immigration to join in conversation on how the current crisis impacts our current and future teaching. \nPanelists: \n\nStephanie Shady\, Lecturer\, Associate Director of Graduate Studies\, Department of Political Science\nMargot Moinester\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Sociology\nKatie Meyer\, Professor of Practice\, Director of the Immigration Law Clinic\, School of Law\n\n \nPanel moderated by Rick Moore\, Associate Director for Faculty Programming\, Center for Teaching and Learning. \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact Rick Moore: rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Language Teaching Spring Showcase Show & Tell 2025
DESCRIPTION:The CTL and Coalition for Language Teaching & Learning invite language instructors from across departments to participate in our Spring Showcase Show & Tell Event on Friday\, April 4th from 3:30-4:30pm\, with happy hour to follow from 4:30-5:30pm. This event is meant to be a fun\, low-stress (post-Spring Break) opportunity for language instructors to get together\, share\, and learn from each other. \nThis event will feature participants briefly sharing a favorite activity that fosters intercultural competence that might transfer to other language-teaching contexts. \nAll participants will create a single PPT slide that includes your name\, a brief description of the activity\, the level of course the activity is appropriate for\, and what you see as its benefits. The slide need not be fancy! Participants will share their ideas and each PPT slide will be collected and redistributed together with the others as a single PDF to all event participants as a “resource gallery” for future use. \nAll language instructors including faculty\, postdocs\, and grad students who are teaching independently\, are welcome to participate. If you can’t make it for the whole hour\, you are welcome to still participate when you can. Advance registration is required. All attendees must plan to bring an activity to share. \nFor questions about the event\, please email Elina Salminen at elinasalminen@wustl.edu. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this event has now closed. If you’d like to participate\, email Elina Salminen directly.

SUMMARY:Navigating Charged Topics in the Classroom: A Panel of WashU Instructors
DESCRIPTION:Higher education has been said to have three core missions: research\, teaching\, and a social-political mission. But is this social-political mission really just a “third mission” on the periphery of the other two? Or should those of us who teach at universities see it as central to providing rigorous\, relevant\, engaging\, and thought-provoking education? \nThe 2024/25 academic year presents ample opportunities to address this question in practical terms\, not merely philosophical ones. As St. Louis and the nation commemorate ten years since Michael Brown’s death amid a heated election season and with global conflicts spilling onto our campuses\, faculty are compelled to rethink the social-political mission of higher education and consider ways of integrating this mission into course policies and classroom practices\, while facilitating conversations that arise from the charged current context. \nThis panel offers a unique space for a courageous conversation among faculty members who teach socially and politically charged topics. Together\, we will explore different approaches to facilitating conversations about politics and share successful policies and practices for doing so. \nPanelists:\nDewitt Campbell\, Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement\nAyala Hendin\, Jewish\, Islamic\, and Middle Eastern Studies\nCaitlin McMurtry\, Brown School\nFroggi VanRiper\, Environmental Studies \nFor questions about this panel discussion\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Polished: College\, Class\, and the Burdens of Social Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Melissa Osborne\nWashU is pleased to welcome Dr. Melissa Osborne\, Associate Professor of Sociology at Western Washington University\, to our campus to speak about first-generation and low-income students. A reception will follow Dr. Osborne’s presentation. \nPolished: College\, Class\, and the Burdens of Social Mobility\nFor low-income and first-generation students at elite schools\, college can feel like entering a whole new world. Along with academic and financial challenges\, their emotional lives also shift as they navigate different cultural and class backgrounds. These students often face a difficult choice: blend in with their peers and abandon their former lives\, or stay true to themselves\, risking isolation from other students. In this talk\, Melissa Osborne\, PhD will share insights from their book Polished\, based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with 150 first-generation and low-income students at 18 selective colleges and universities. Osborne reveals how the support systems meant to help these students can unintentionally reshape their identities\, often creating tension between their aspirations and their connections to family and community. Without direct institutional support\, this emotional struggle can lead to feelings of alienation\, mental health challenges\, and difficult decisions about balancing upward mobility with authenticity. \nThis event is sponsored by Here & Next. \nFor further details and registration\, please see the event listing in Happenings at WashU or contact Máire Murphy\, Project Coordinator\, Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Teaching & Learning in the Age of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:With the advent of easy-to-use artificial intelligence (AI) text generation tools like ChatGPT\, educators must grapple with what these technologies mean for their course and assignment designs. In this practical session with noted author and faculty developer Derek Bruff\, we will briefly survey the landscape of AI tools for generating text and other media\, then dive into the teaching choices they present. What changes do we need to make to our learning objectives\, if any\, in light of ChatGPT and other AI tools? How can we design assignments that either leverage or minimize AI tools to meet those learning objectives? This session will feature teaching principles and examples of practice to help answer these questions as the AI landscape continues to change. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Eric Fournier. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Alternative Grading Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to try alternative grading in one of your courses\, but just needed the time to sit down and figure everything out? Are you looking to discuss alternative grading ideas with colleagues in a supportive environment? Then join us at the Alternative Grading Bootcamp! \n\nWHAT: The bootcamp is an idea that emerged from the participants in the Spring 2024 faculty reading community\, which read Grading for Growth\, a book on implementing various forms of alternative grading in college courses. The format of the bootcamp is simply two days where instructors meet in person in January Hall 110 on the Danforth Campus to actively work on the nuts and bolts of alternative grading for their classes. Instead of working alone at home or in the office\, the bootcamp offers a chance to work alongside others who are also trying to figure out alternative grading and who can be consulted with as needed. The two days are about a week apart so that members of this community also have time between sessions to reflect and work on their own before coming back for a second round of discussions with colleagues. The bootcamp is NOT a workshop; it’s a chance to dedicate time to actually figuring out syllabi\, assignments\, and whatever else you need to do to get alternative grading off the ground in your course. Bring your laptop and whatever course planning materials you need. Lunch will be provided.\nWHEN: Thursday\, July 25th and Friday August 2nd.  The bootcamp is planned for 10a – 3p each day\, but we may adjust the times slightly if there are strong opinions for other start/end times. We understand that you may have other commitments\, so participants can always come and go as needed during the day. And while we hope that you can join us for both days of the bootcamp\, if you can only participate one of the days\, that’s ok too.\nWHO: The bootcamp is aimed at instructors who have some prior knowledge and/or experience with alternative grading\, broadly defined. The main target audience is the participants from the recent faculty reading community on alternative grading\, but we welcome other members of the WashU community with alternative grading experience or a demonstrated interest in implementing alternative grading in a Fall 2024 course. Space in the bootcamp is limited to ensure a productive environment for working on courses.\n\nAdvanced registration is required. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Rick Moore: rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

And while we hope that you can join us for both days of the bootcamp\, if you can only participate one of the days\, that’s ok too.\nWHO: The bootcamp is aimed at instructors who have some prior knowledge and/or experience with alternative grading\, broadly defined. The main target audience is the participants from the recent faculty reading community on alternative grading\, but we welcome other members of the WashU community with alternative grading experience or a demonstrated interest in implementing alternative grading in a Fall 2024 course. Space in the bootcamp is limited to ensure a productive environment for working on courses.\n\nAdvanced registration is required. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Rick Moore: rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration
