On Thursday, April 19, 3:30-5 in the Christensen Center, we will host the Faculty Scholarship Roundtables. Please consider making a presentation in a roundtable setting on your current research, scholarship (broadly defined) and professional work.

Finally, this is a critical opportunity for all of us to model life long learning by attending these events and knowing what we are about as a college. Abstract forms are available on the CTL webpage, CTL public folder or by calling x1229.
