Thanks for stepping in Roscoe.)
Amanda Craig, Liberal Arts Week Chairperson, and Geoff Halberstadt, LAUC Faculty Senator and AAC Delegate, join Associate Dean Long, Heather Summerlin, and Jillian Balay for Episode 5 of LAUS Radio.
In this podcast, Amanda discusses this year’s Liberal Arts Week (LAW), an annual event organized by the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council. Amanda and LAUC hope that this week-long event will provide a space where CLA undergraduates, faculty, and staff can get to know each other while participating in a variety of activities. Amanda and her student planning committee have organized numerous programs including an undergraduate research panel, a cultural fair, and a trivia night. LAW begins next Monday, March 29th and is free to the public. Make sure to check out the LAUS Announcements blog for more information on LAW.
The group also talks about Associate Dean Long’s recent video in which he asks how we can cultivate social media technology to enhance the traditional values of the Liberal Arts. They discuss some comments already posted in response to the video as well as how some of these ideas can be applied to LAUS’ social media initiative. Associate Dean Long asks listeners what they think of LAUS’ use of social media so far. Are you reading the blogs? Are you following LAUS on Facebook or Twitter?
Associate Dean Long also mentions the Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) next weekend. Specifically, he talks about the presentation he will be giving at TLT which will detail the experience his undergraduate philosophy class had with their own course blog.
Finally, Jillian Balay reminds undergrads to attend the CLA Affording Study Abroad Information Session this Wednesday and to pick up their copy of the student generated magazine Agora.
