All faculty and staff are invited to join the CTL, Nicole Ralston (SOE), and Valerie Peterson (MTH) to discuss understanding and supporting today’s college students, some of whom may need additional support. Drawing from a recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education (Some Assembly Still Required), we’ll explore how the rise of new media, K-12 education reforms, standardized testing culture, and pandemic disruptions have shaped our current students’ learning habits and academic expectations. We’ll discuss practical strategies for bridging the gap between high school preparation and college-level work, with a focus on helping students develop essential skills in reading, writing, and independent learning while maintaining academic rigor.
February 20, 12:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m. Murphy Room (426 Franz)
Space is limited, so please RSVP to ctl@up.edu to hold your spot. Further inquiries can be sent to ctl@up.edu or favero@up.edu.
