Faculty Success is Student Success:
College of Liberal Arts Student Success Professional Development Conference
CSU and the College of Liberal Arts recognize the profound impact that Continuing, Contract, and Adjunct Faculty (CCAF) have across the University, particularly through their involvement in the All-University Core Curriculum (AUCC).
Student Success funding from the Board of Governors has provided the opportunity for CLA to develop a summer professional development conference titled Faculty Success is Student Success: College of Liberal Arts Student Success Professional Development Conference that focuses on CCAF expertise and professional development priorities. This conference brings together leaders in the College of Liberal Arts, the Office of Inclusive Excellence, The Institute for Learning and Teaching (TILT), and other experts on pedagogy to offer participants the opportunity to build their professional expertise around student success and position inclusivity as central to their teaching practice.
Our hope is that participants will learn and grow in several ways:
- Collaborating and sharing expertise and experiences around pedagogy that prioritizes student success.
- Better understanding the AUCC to align AUCC objectives with class content.
- Discovering First Four Weeks Initiative resources to implement them in this fall’s courses.
- Finding new resources and ideas to positively impact student experience, especially related to identity and inclusion.
