Morning Blend is a weekly discussion on a specific topic that impacts teaching and/or scholarship (zoom link). With a few exceptions noted below, the program will run on Thursdays this fall from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. After the sessions, a video recording and tip sheet will be available to anyone who attended or wishes to engage with the material online.

Each Morning Blend session includes a 10-15 minute presentation with specific, action-oriented information about that week's topic. We then invite participants to share ideas about the topic until the end of the half hour. Although we plan for 30 minutes, participants may feel free to engage for any time period that their schedule allows.

We invite faculty to grab a cup of coffee or tea and please join us on the dates below or bookmark this page and watch the recorded sessions when you are available. Note: the recorded sessions will only include the presentation and will not include the discussion.
