I am writing to invite faculty participation in the Freshman Seminar Program for the academic year 2001-2002. As many of you know, the program is designed to give first-year students the opportunity to study with a faculty member in more informal, small group settings on topics of mutual interest.
Enrollment is limited to fifteen students per class.
In the past, many of the seminars have been held in the TRC conference room and a number of others have been hosted in the instructor's home or some other mutually convenient location. From the program's inception, faculty members have offered Freshman Seminars as an add-on to their normal departmental teaching assignments. All proposals are reviewed by a faculty program committee. I hope you will consider participating in this unique opportunity to work with our first-year students.
