Call for Proposals and Reviewers
To draw on the wealth of knowledge on the FYE across campus, the Symposium is organized under four broad themes (Theory ↔ Practice, Learning as Process, Inclusive Excellence, and Innovative Pedagogies) and two formats (10 min. Presentations or 20 min. Roundtable Discussions). Faculty and staff are invited to submit a program proposal at this time. All proposals will be subject to a peer review process. Proposals are due by November 30, 2018.
