Teaching and Learning Symposium – April Session - Supporting First-Year Students: Adapting to Disruption, Embracing Lasting Change  (back)
 
Description:
Lead Speakers: Alfonso Morales, Vilas Distinguished Professor for Food Systems, Marketplaces, and Public Policy / Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture and Kathleen Culver, James E. Burgess Chair in Journalism Ethics Professor / Center for Journalism Ethics Director / School of Journalism and Mass Communication

Panel Speakers: Carren Martin, Director, Center for the First-Year Experience / Student Affairs; Nathan Phelps, Director, First-Year Interest Groups Program / College of Letters & Science; André Phillips, Director, Admissions and Recruitment / Division of Enrollment Management

How can we support this year's first-year students as they look towards year two? How can we prepare for the arrival of next year's incoming students, most of whom have had a very different and very challenging high school experience? We'll hear from two faculty members who designed and taught new Wisconsin Experience courses for first-year students in fall 2020. Then we'll be joined by a panel with leaders from the Center for the First Year Experience, First-Year Interest Groups, and Admissions to talk about what we've learned about and from this year's first-year students, what we know about the incoming class, and how we can support all our students now and in the future.

The last 30 minutes of each session will offer a post-session small group discussion. Join your colleagues for a post-session reflection and facilitated discussion of the presentation. There will be an opportunity in smaller breakout groups to reflect on how topics addressed might influence instructional practices as well as conversation about how to translate into teaching and learning.
