Are you struggling to help students see the "why" behind general education requirements?
You're not alone - faculty across campus report that students view Core courses as hurdles rather than foundations for lifelong learning.
Join us for a hands-on workshop that transforms Core IMPACTS into your most powerful teaching tool. In just this session, you'll collaborate with colleagues across disciplines to gain ready-to-use classroom activities, clear connection maps showing students how your course builds career-relevant skills and assessment tools that make student growth visible - all designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing curriculum without major redesign.
When students understand how critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills connect across disciplines, they transform from reluctant participants to engaged learners who arrive in upper-division courses better prepared and articulate their learning more clearly in job interviews and graduate applications. This workshop reconnects you with the transformative power of liberal arts education: developing critical thinkers who can navigate complexity, engage diverse perspectives and contribute meaningfully to society.
This workshop will take place at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 in Library 376. Register here to attend.
