On Friday November 5, two of our campuses will focus on teaching! Our PROMISE program is an AGEP initiative (National Science Foundation’s Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate) that includes professional development workshops that focus on training for the professoriate. We want our graduate students to be equipped and prepared for all aspects of faculty life. This Friday’s workshops will focus on public speaking and preparing teaching portfolios.
