Teaching at an R2
Tue, 2 Apr 2024 2:15 PM - 3:15 PM
In 2022, JMU was awarded a new Carnegie Classification status, “R2 Doctoral University with high research activity.” This new classification recognizes as well as expands research, scholarship, and creative opportunities for faculty and students.
There have been ongoing questions about the implications for our teaching of being at an R2. Will expectations change? Will we be evaluated differently? Will we need to adjust our priorities or focus? What can (or must) we do to fit this new classification? Some units have been discussing these questions internally, but not all.
This online roundtable will create a cross-disciplinary space for JMU faculty to share questions, ideas, opportunities, and concerns for teaching in this new era.
Date & Time: Tuesday, 4/2, from 2:15 - 3:15 PM
Location: Online (The Zoom link will be provided either with the email registration confirmation or by email the day before the event.)
Facilitator: Emily Gravett, CFI & CAL
Genre: Roundtable
Program Outcome: Identifying opportunities and challenges related to teaching at an R2
