General Education Conversations Speaker Series
The purpose of these talks is to have internal and external experts promote a collective understanding of the purposes and potentials of General Education, as well as the typical challenges of General Education reform. The Spring 2024 sessions were designed to engage faculty in discussion about important themes identified through CCATF's initial faculty survey. The Spring 2024 conversation notes are below and the Fall 2023 conversations are to the side.
