Second Teach-In scheduled

The second Teach-In will be held Thursday, April 2, with sessions offered at three different locations.

This year’s theme is “Power, Privilege and Difficult Dialogues.” Sessions will run from 8:30 a.m.-8:45 p.m. in the Kirkhof Center, Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons and the DeVos Center. View the schedule of 26 presentations by clicking here.

Karen Gipson, chair of the Executive Committee of University Academic Senate, said while some sessions last year were live-streamed to the Pew Grand Rapids Campus, the committee felt an in-person presence at that campus was needed. More than 1,180 people participated in last year’s Teach-In.

The event is sponsored by University Academic Senate and Student Senate, with many collaborative campus partners such as the Dean of Students Office, Division of Inclusion and Equity, LGBT Resource Center, Office of Multicultural Affairs, Faculty Teaching and Learning Center and the Women’s Center.
