The Teaching Tidbits Brown Bag lunches will continue this fall semester on an abbreviated schedule. We will meet on the Mondays listed below from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. in the faculty lounge in the Tippie Alumni Center. We welcome faculty and staff to join us when the topic of the meeting is one of interest to you. Therefore, we have listed the discussion areas for each date. Prior to each meeting, we will share a short reading to facilitate the conversation. Also, note that in October, our group will discuss “The Slow Professor” by Maggie Berg in conjunction with the Year of Mindfulness. Please email Aimee Knupsky at aknupsky@allegheny.edu to be put on the email list for the group or if you have topics for discussion at future meetings.
