CTL Workshop: Core IMPACTS - What is it? How does it apply to me? How is it being effectively integrated by other instructors? 

Are you struggling to help students see the "why" behind general education requirements? 

You're not alone — faculty across campus report that students view Core courses as hurdles rather than foundations for lifelong learning. 

Join us for a hands-on workshop that transforms Core IMPACTS into your most powerful teaching tool. In just this session, you'll collaborate with colleagues across disciplines to gain ready-to-use classroom activities, clear connection maps showing students how your course builds career-relevant skills and assessment tools that make student growth visible — all designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing curriculum without major redesign. 

When students understand how critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills connect across disciplines, they transform from reluctant participants to engaged learners who arrive in upper-division courses better prepared and articulate their learning more clearly in job interviews and graduate applications. This workshop reconnects you with the transformative power of liberal arts education: developing critical thinkers who can navigate complexity, engage diverse perspectives and contribute meaningfully to society.

This workshop will take place at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 in Library 376. Register here to attend.
