Kick off the new academic year with EmpowerEd, a professional development day hosted by the Faculty Center offering hands‑on workshops exploring innovations in higher education instruction. Discover the power of flipped learning, alternative grading, and other research‑supported strategies that enhance student engagement, promote active learning, and create supportive classroom environments.
You’ll leave empowered—with practical ideas you can implement immediately and insights that will shape your teaching for years to come.
