Faculty Reading Group
Faculty Reading Groups
Faculty reading groups help connect KSU educators interested in building community and developing their teaching through cross-disciplinary conversations. Monthly reading groups will provide an opportunity for participants to engage in meaningful conversations on topics related to teaching, professional development, and trends in higher education. This reading group is primarily intended for Kent State faculty (full or part time); other members of the community are welcome if space is available. Please register to attend by Friday, Sept. 16th, 2022. To facilitate interaction, this reading group will be offered in two formats: Mondays are in person at the Center for Teaching & Learning (rm 141) and Tuesdays are remote via Teams.
