Earlier this semester we released the results the听听and the听. The results of these surveys revealed that we as a campus community still have work to do to ensure that all of our students, faculty, and staff can safely and meaningfully work together to make CU-麻豆影院 the kind of welcoming environment where everyone can thrive both academically and socially.
That work begins with open and candid discussions of what our issues are and how we can work together to address them. Toward this end, the CU Student Government (CUSG), the 麻豆影院 Faculty Assembly (BFA), and the Office of Faculty Affairs are co-sponsoring a two-part series of campus discussions focusing on听Social dynamics inside and outside of the classroom. This topic was chosen in direct response to some of the social climate issues that were revealed in our student social climate surveys.听
Part 1听of the two-part series of discussions will be held on March 9 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the UMC Ballroom. A panel of students, faculty, and selected campus experts will lead an open discussion how social dynamics in various settings on our campus can positively and negatively impact the ability of students, faculty and staff to most productively engage in the learning, research, and service missions of the university.
Part 2听in the series will be held on April 15 from 2 to 4 p.m. in UMC 235. This panel-led discussion will be more focused on how social dynamics in the classroom and other learning spaces can influence the effectiveness of student-student and student-faculty interactions, both of which are critical to promoting student success.听
This is an opportunity for our campus community to come together to share their perspectives on our campus climate issues, and to share ideas on how we can best address them to make CU 麻豆影院 a better place for all of us to work and learn. Please accept my invitation to attend and participate in these important campus discussions!
