Teaching at Baruch

January 23, 2023 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm EST

Repeats: January 27, from 12 noon to 1 pm EST

Are you new to Baruch? Teaching for the first time? Unsure about what kind of first impression you want to make on your class?

Join the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Office of Adjunct Faculty Services in an informal discussion of these and other teaching issues pertinent to the beginning of the new semester. This is an excellent opportunity to meet other adjunct faculty and to learn about resources available to you as a faculty member. While the focus of the event is on those teaching at Baruch for the first time, all faculty are welcome.

End of the Semester Brown Bag Lunch

Join your fellow adjunct faculty members in winding down the semester.
