Faculty Think Tank
The CEB Faculty Think Tank, was developed in Spring 2022 to promote interdepartmental collaboration and conversation that is based on Cultural Equity and Belonging. Sessions consisted of faculty members speaking through larger hopes and challenges that they face through a CEB lens, and brainstorming how each faculty member could make an individual contribution that aligns with their interests, a challenge they face and with CEB. Explore the individual projects created by Faculty Think Tank Members below that range from syllabi and classroom shifts to departmental offerings to a symposium proposed.
