This event is for tenure- and instructor-track faculty who are in their first three years at CU Boulder. 

This virtual lunch hour discussion features a panel of campus experts discussing how new faculty members can thrive here as a teacher, in general, and how they can navigate potential challenges in the classroom, for example, problematic student comments, moral/political disagreements, or disengaged or disrespectful students, in particular.

Panelists:

• Donna Mejia, Associate Professor of Dance and Faculty Fellow at the Center for Teaching & Learning
• Kira Pasquesi, Instructor at the School of Education and Program Director of CU Engage
• Tina Pittman-Wagers, Teaching Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and an Affiliate faculty member of the Renée Crown Wellness Institute

This event is part of the Office of Faculty Affairs' series "Thriving at CU," a new workshop series for tenure- and instructor-track faculty who are in their first three years at CU Boulder. This series is designed to promote among faculty a sense of belonging, faculty community, and ownership of our campus. The workshops and dialogues are one-hour sessions that will provide faculty with some of the tools they’ll need, not only to be successful here, but also to feel at home. Topics covered include academic freedom, student mentoring, pursuit of research and creative work, teaching practices, leadership, and faculty governance.
