The voting is open for round two of the Faculty Learning Communities (FLC) program for Academic Year 2011-12. You have whittled down the potential FLC from over 20 to nine remaining. Your voting and commitments will decide which four FLC will move forward this AY. If you are ready to make your decision, fill out the FLC enrollment form that you received via email. If you are undecided, plan to attend the FLC Expo on September 14 in rooms 621 and 622 Mary and John Gray Library (MJGL). You can come anytime between 11:30 AM and 4:30 PM and talk with an advocate for the remaining nine FLC. If you did not receive a FLC enrollment form, give us a call at 8426. Dan Apple is on campus today. His workshop this morning was terrific and he continues this afternoon through 5:00 PM in the Cardinal Club Room of the Montagne Center. The faculty who attended this morning appeared to be inspired by Dr. Apple's presentation of his process education philosophy which focuses on the development of broad, transferable learning skills. Special thanks to Dean Brenda Nichols and Exxon Mobil who made the visit possible. There is still time to register your students for the Learn to Learn workshop set for September 10 and 11 (Saturday and Sunday) by contacting Kathy Pierce in the College of Arts and Sciences. The first discussion session of the LU Journaling Program was very productive. Journalers are already benefiting from the critical reflection activity. Full commitment to the process is the key. The next discussion group session is set for October 6 at 2:00 PM in room 621 MJGL. The next opportunity to join the program will be this Friday, September 9 at 1:00 PM in 622 MJGL. Look for an email soon asking you to indicate your attendance for Dr. Linda Nilson's upcoming three workshops to be delivered on September 27 and 28.
