Lunch & Learn, Civic Engagement in Our Courses: Civic Engagement and Sustainability
Thursday, February 11, 2010, 12pm-1:30pm, Banneker Room, 2nd floor Stamp Student Union

Come learn from faculty colleagues how they connect civic engagement and sustainability in courses across the curriculum.  How do these concepts apply across disciplines?  What do they really look like in the curriculum?  What have faculty members learned in the process?  Panelists will be faculty members involved in the Chesapeake Project and I-Courses.  ALL ARE WELCOME!

RSVP to cte@umd.edu so we can plan for the lunch. Bring your students and colleagues!  For further information, please contact Dr. Barbara Jacoby, bjacoby@umd.edu, (301) 314-7253.  

Workshop sponsored by the Coalition for Civic Engagement and Leadership, Center for Teaching Excellence, Adele H. Stamp Student Union, Undergraduate Studies, and Academy for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
