This interactive session focuses on diversity issues that are germane to faculty, staff and students at Portland State University. A short video addressing the topic of diversity provides the foundation for this facilitated discussion. This session explores the possibilities of addressing ways in which civic capacity of students is enhanced through involvement in the community. This discussion will also involve shaping the future directions of this ongoing series.
New participants are welcome.
This session gives a brief overview of essential faculty tools for obtaining class rosters, student academic advising information, and administrative financial data as well as instructions for grade submission and more. Ways in which the on-going Campus Conversation can provide support for faculty interested in pursuing such scholarship are also discussed. This session addresses the basic requirements for graduation and the demands advising places on faculty, as well as the support available in assuming advising responsibilities. Librarians can offer project based instruction, teach collaboratively on subject specific research methods, offer assistance in the design of student research assignments, and design custom research guides. Writing to Learn activities need not take up much class time, nor do they need to be graded to be effective.
