We are pleased to invite you to join us for a workshop with Dr. Loretta LeMaster, Associate Professor at Arizona State University. Dr. LeMaster will lead a hands-on critical pedagogy workshop for faculty who are interested in implementing new and different ways to facilitate learning during this time of great uncertainty and crisis. Dr. LeMaster will briefly talk about her new book, Pedagogies of the Enfleshed, before leading activities focused on breath, non-binary pedagogy, syllabus language, de-escalation, and zine creation. The activities are designed for faculty to take into the classroom and use with their own students. 

Information: April 11, 2025, 10am-12pm in UU329. Light breakfast and coffee will be available. At 12pm, participants are invited to stay for lunch and engage in informal discussion with others and Dr. LeMaster. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Communication Studies, FACET, and COFAC. 

This session is designed to help faculty effectively use Microsoft Reflect and other check-in tools with intention and clarity. While check-ins provide valuable insights into student well-being, this session aims to assist faculty with how to respond—especially when a student repeatedly signals distress. 

In this session, we’ll explore: 
✅ How to structure and set expectations for check-ins 
✅ How to interpret responses and determine appropriate follow-up steps 
✅ Scenarios for responding to student distress while maintaining professional boundaries 
✅ The campus resources available to support student well-being 
 
This session will provide faculty with practical strategies to ensure check-ins are more than just a routine task—they become a meaningful tool for fostering student success 

Join a group of faculty mentors of undergraduate and graduate students to discuss and share the knowledge and skills to establish and maintain effective communication with your mentees. Strategies for providing constructive feedback, improving communication, both in person and at a distance, active listening techniques will be discussed. This workshop is part of mentor training initiative provided by FACET and the Office of Undergraduate Research. Lunch will be provided.

Students starting a research project or joining an existing research team often do not know what to expect from the experience. Please join your faculty colleagues to discuss ways to set clear goals for the projects, consider the expectations of your mentees in the mentoring relationship, and to align the mentor and mentee expectations. This workshop is part of mentor training initiative provided by FACET and the Office of Undergraduate Research. Lunch will be provided.
