This program brings faculty and staff together to read, discuss, and reflect on a book of common interest. Topics range widely and vary from semester to semester.
Fostering dialogue
These small groups meet twice a month during the semester and set their own agendas and meeting times. Each group contains no more than 7 participants, to enhance relationship-building and ease scheduling. In turn, the TLI provides copies of the book/s in question, and asks for feedback from the group after the semester ends.
Unexpected connections
By bringing together faculty across the disciplines based on nothing more than faculty interest, this program encourages unanticipated collaboration and helps promote faculty relationships across campus.
The TLI Directors will invite faculty to join a Learning Circle before the start of each semester. All faculty are eligible to participate.
