New Faculty to be Welcomed at Annual Teaching Seminar August 19-22

Underscoring UT Austin’s commitment to teaching excellence, DIIA will welcome incoming faculty from around the globe at its annual New Faculty Teaching, Learning, and Orientation Seminar just prior to the fall semester. The four half-days of workshops, panels, and presentations will feature distinguished faculty, administrators, staff, and students sharing experiences, insight, and advice concerning teaching and research on the Forty Acres. And at the resources fair each morning and the benefits fair on Friday, seminar participants will be able to ask questions and attend to the business of getting settled at the university.

The seminar will lead off DIIA’s 2008-2009 series of events featuring collegial interchange on topics relevant to emerging and best practices in pedagogy, assessment, and instructional technology, including the Graduate Student Colloquium, the Teaching and Learning Colloquium, and Instructional Technology Workshops.

All activities for the seminar will take place in the Avaya Auditorium in the ACES Building. Watch this page during the summer for updated information, especially about the program and presenters.
