Program details:

Have you ever resolved a really difficult teaching challenge after an unexpectedly helpful conversation with a colleague you bumped into purely by chance? Well, here's an opportunity to learn about collaborating with colleagues on purpose as part of a Freshman Connection learning community. Join me and other faculty members who have taught, or are now teaching, or hope to teach linked sections of freshman courses.

You'll learn about

• The benefits of faculty collaboration for faculty
• The benefits of faculty collaboration for students
• The risks of collaboration
• How to get the most out of a learning community
