Center for Scholarly Teaching announces fall 2009 programming
By
Lori Carrell, Coordinator, Center for Scholarly Teaching
The UW Oshkosh Center for Scholarly Teaching (CST) has a busy fall 2009 programming schedule, designed to support its vision to enhance student learning by inspiring and equipping the UW Oshkosh teaching community to achieve excellence that emanates from exceptional research. New programs include a six-session book club and several One-Session Wonders. The One-Session Wonders will be offered twice in the weeks in which they are scheduled.
