Held the first training for the new cohort of ACES Fellows yesterday. This is a solid group building on the stellar faculty in the first cohort. You can view the entire list of Fellows. Not only are they a good source of information about the program but you should be advising your students to sign up for their sections this coming Fall Semester at LU. One of the interesting conversations we had yesterday was about teaching philosophies. I encourage you to perform a teaching-style audit at least once a year. Titus and Gremler have written a nice article describing an effective process that you can use. They believe, and I concur, that "educators must regularly engage in thoughtful self-examinations of their instructional beliefs and behaviors, because real growth comes only when educators carefully question and challenge their instructional beliefs and behaviors." There was an interesting article concerning poorly designed websites for colleges and universities. Designing an attractive website that is current and informative is very difficult but the good news is we are producing terrific graduates at LU that can help. The Art Department offers programs in electronic media and graphic design. Judging from the national conversation as well as the comments on the article, there is a great need for folks who are interested in pursuing this as a career.
