Friday Lunch Discussion - General Education and GC Core Values: What Matters?
Hosted by Ross Peterson-Veatch, at this Open Lunch Discussion members of the faculty and staff are invited to dine together and talk about what matters in General Education for GC students especially as it relates to the institution's Core Values. These discussions are intended to provide us with an open forum to begin conversations about general education review and revision, how we address interculturalism in the curriculum, and other topics pertinent to the kinds of curricular and co-curricular changes we might hope to implement in the near future at GC.

Course Development Institute
CITL and The Mininger Center will be hosting a Course Development
Institute (CDI) during the week of Memorial Day - May 27-30. This event
will use an Integrated Course Design model to support faculty in developing
new courses or revising courses they have already taught and are planning
to teach next year. Participants should choose one course to work on
that they will be teaching next year and focus on that course during the
CDI. The course can be any course a CDI participant teaches - it does not have to be
directly related to the CITL's goals. We will meet from 9:00 am - 12:00
pm daily to hear brief presentations and work in small groups giving
each other feedback on course materials. Participants will be free to work on
their course in the afternoon hours on their own. More information will be available about the CDI as the time approaches. There are a limited number of seats in this Institute, so
please contact Ross Peterson-Veatch at rosspv@goshen.edu if you plan to be a part of this
year's CDI. Again, the time commitment is 9-12 daily, with significant
work on your own in the afternoons.
