This seminar supports graduate students and postdocs who are completing teaching-as-research projects in the Delta Internship Program.

Wednesdays 1:20-3pm, starting September 2.
Develop foundational knowledge of evidence-based pedagogical practices, try new teaching approaches in a supportive environment, and prepare for a successful academic career. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9-10:15 am, May 19-July 9.
