CTL Portfolio Workshop

CTL Portfolio Workshop
Tuesday, May 21, 8:00-11:30 a.m.
Location: Riverside Room, Christensen Center
Facilitators: Diane Pike and Su Doree
RSVP to ctl@augsburg.edu

The purpose of this workshop is to help candidates for any type of tenure and promotion review to determine the various forms of evidence that can help build a strong portfolio. The focus is on evidence of teaching, but the strategies directly apply to scholarship and service as well. This workshop is not designed to replace departmental guidance and advice nor is it an analysis of the Faculty Handbook language as it applies to an individual. Following the workshop, participants are encouraged to form groups to review each other's portfolio materials and provide feedback and support. This workshop is sponsored by CTL, not CTP.

Photos: May Commencement Now Up on Flickr

Photos from May Commencement, taken by photographer Stephen Geffre, can be viewed on the College's Flickr site. There are some lovely images of students with family and students with faculty. There are photos of students crossing the stage, of the dignitaries, and more.

If you see someone a student you know, please send them a link to the image. It would be wonderful for the freshly minted alumni to be able to see and share these photos via social media with their friends and family.

The photos are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/augsburgcollege/sets/72157633433198771/with/8719656105/
