Faculty Learning Fridays @RooseveltU are back for the Fall 2024 semester! Sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs, the Learning Commons, and the Library, Faculty Learning Fridays is a monthly informal workshop series for RU instructors to explore challenges, insights, and practical strategies related to teaching, learning, mentorship, and more, drawing on the expertise of our RU community.

All instructors—full-time, part-time, and staff—are invited, and workshop topics and leaders rotate from month to month. A central goal of this series is to help instructors develop and implement effective practices in their work with students, in an interactive, participatory, and structured workshop format.
