Faculty Footnotes is a casual, half-hour conversation series connecting E.G.O. graduate students with the faculty behind their courses and scholarship.
Each installment features a member of the E.G.O. Board in conversation with an IUP professor about their research, teaching, interests, and experiences. Students are invited to grab a cup of coffee, join the conversation, and get to know the scholar beyond the classroom.
For distance students especially, opportunities to linger after class or chat with faculty in the hallway can be rare. Faculty Footnotes hopes to recreate some of that informal connection wherever our students happen to be.
