[Lu_faculty] Faculty Development Line-up

[HERRON, MARSHA D]

Hello Colleagues,

Here are your SAVE THE DATE(S), for your Faculty Development sessions for the Fall semester.

We have exciting news!!!! There are now three ways you can participate in faculty development. The format for presentations have been revised to offer you as the faculty ample opportunities to connect with your colleagues and receive beneficial information for practice. We sincerely appreciate all feedback so that we continually improve our service delivery.

All presentations, unless otherwise posted, will take place in person, in Gandy Hall, first floor, Rooms 106-108, which is the computer lab. You may either attend this session in person, or utilize the other two options.

All sessions will be broadcast as webinars, as they  are occurring. This method will allow you to attend the session from any location you wish.  You will have to be able to connect to Adobe Connect or to access the link provided by CTI. You will also be able to ask questions to the presenter via the chat box on screen. If you are not sure about Adobe Connect or have no experience with it, please contact CTI in advance of the presentation and they will assist you with getting set up 405-466-2001.

The third option, allows you to watch the presentation as an archived file on the CTI website, a few days after the presentation takes place. For questions, comments, or suggestions to the presenter, you will need to contact that presenter through email.

We are also offering two ways to evaluate presentations this year, you will have the choice to receive a paper version in person, or you will be provided with a live link in the advertisement emails, follow-up attendance emails, or on the CTI website.

Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, or simply require additional information by responding to the email.

The sessions will be featured in the order they will appear:

Fall

Ahondju Umadjela, MS, RD/LD
Healthy Eating for Academic Success
Wednesday, September 17th @ 11:00 am, Gandy Hall, Rooms 106-108

Session Synopsis: Research shows that a relationship exists between overall well-being and academic success.  Although well-being is a general term that indicates a state of being healthy, happy, or successful (Merriam-Webster Online, 2014), there are some steps that need to be taken in order to be healthy, happy, or successful.  One of the most important steps is healthy nutrition.  Healthy nutrition contributes to a person’s well-being because you are what you eat. This presentation will provide practical healthy eating tips for academic success.
