TLC Teaching Tip of the Week: Anchor Seminar

March 18, 2021

As a Teaching and Learning Tip of the Week, Andrew Guest is using his Core Director pen to share an invitation and introduction to a project for the new Anchor Seminar – an evolved version of the first year workshop which, starting in Fall of ’21, will include a faculty-led introduction to the Core and the broader values of a UP education. The faculty group is working to create a living anthology of potential readings and materials for the Anchor Seminar, and hopes for suggestions from the broader academic community at UP. As we approach the stretch run of this most challenging academic year, what are the great works and thoughtful writings that inspire you (and that we might share with new UP students)?
