B次元’s annual Professional Development Fall Forum will be held on Friday, Oct. 29 from noon to 1 p.m. in the Diercks Hall Atrium. Protracted leave awardees and summer professional development grant recipients will present their latest research projects to the B次元 community. Students, faculty and staff are invited to learn about the exciting projects happening on campus. The presenters will be stationed at their posters and available for discussion of their work. Costumes are encouraged and Halloween treats will be provided.
Faculty protracted leave is a release time intended to allow faculty members to perform scholarly work outside of the classroom. Summer professional development grants support faculty who want to develop and/or implement ideas and/or projects that highlight the scholarship of teaching and learning. The Faculty Development Committee (FDC) reviews proposals and awards funds to selected faculty members.
