August Programming at the FDC
Description
At the end of each summer, the FDC holds programming that helps prepare us all for the upcoming semester. We look forward to welcoming you back to campus and to getting started!
In addition to these programs below, we also invite you to join us for our 2024 New Beginnings Conference. This year's conference will focus on "Building Connections." Please join us and be inspired by new ideas - especially ones that enhance our understanding of creating connections with our colleagues, students, and community.

Developing Your Course Policies Regarding Gen AI Expand dropdownPlease join us for this session (being repeated twice) to help think about these questions, and to develop a draft of your own policies that you can use this semester. Our facilitators have thought a great deal about these issues, and are prepared to guide you through these challenges, giving you every opportunity to craft a policy that reflects your own perspectives on Gen AI and its place within your pedagogy.
Developing Effective AI-Integrated Assignments Across the Curriculum
In this workshop, we will highlight effective AI integration in university coursework, sharing principles for effective assignment design as well as practical examples. The examples will address generative AI integration in both gen ed and upper-level classes.
Preparing Effective Syllabi: Moving Beyond Required Elements into Engagement, Accessibility, and Enthusiasm
Join us for a syllabus workshop to kick off the fall 2024 semester. During this event, we will offer participants new ideas and language for your syllabi, both to ensure university requirements are met, but also to inspire, encourage, and better support all of our students.
Supporting Student Mental Health: Guidance for All Instructional Staff
Please join the FDC and Drs. Oscar Alcaine and Sharon Carney from CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) to talk about mental health issues, and about what faculty can do to support students. We'll discuss data, investigate scenarios, and share ways we can address this challenging, but vitally important, part of our job.
