The Center for Applied Research in Education (CARE) introduces two professional development programs as the Brown Bag Series. The Program for Learning and Teaching Excellence (PLaTE) facilitates opportunities for part-time and full-time faculty members to use concepts of learning in higher education when reflecting on their practice and developing their teaching portfolios. The second program, Approaches to Research, provides a critical space for faculty to either start or further develop their research plans and activities.
The Brown Bag Series invites you to bring your lunch and take your practice a few steps further.
