[Hobbs, Megan]

Check out our three workshop offerings this term.

Spring 2026 CAT Workshops FYS Design Sprint: Crafting a Strong FYS Proposal February 11, 1:00 – 4:00 PM, ZSR Faculty Commons Conference Room 664 | Facilitators: Kristi Verbeke & Melissa Maffeo Please Note: This session is intended for faculty who are submitting a FYS proposal for a new class. Moving from a disciplinary topic to a First-Year Seminar requires more than just repackaging content; it requires intentional alignment with the college’s four critical outcomes. Spend some time with us thinking about how you might design a seminar that authentically integrates these goals alongside your area of expertise. We will analyze common proposal pitfalls, troubleshoot design challenges with colleagues, and structure your course to meet specific review criteria. Participants will leave with a clear, aligned framework and a solid proposal draft ready (or near ready) for the FYS Committee's submission deadline on February 13th.  REGISTER Updating Your FYS for Today's Students March 25, 1:00 – 4:00 PM, ZSR Faculty Commons Classroom 665 | Facilitators: Kristi Verbeke & Melissa Maffeo Please Note: This session is intended for faculty who are looking to refresh an already-existing FYS. Are you looking to refresh your current First Year Seminar (FYS)? Join us to explore strategies for enhancing discussion and reimagining assignments to align with FYS core competencies in the current landscape (including the impact of AI). You will have time to talk through current challenges and opportunities with colleagues to generate concrete ideas and revisions that strengthen your course and create engaging, relevant learning experiences. REGISTER The Language Exchange: A Sharing Session on Assessment Design May 20th, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, ZSR Faculty Commons Classroom 665 | Facilitators: Daniel Jung, Lauren Miller, and Rebekah Morris Following the momentum of our recent AI discussions, please join faculty from across the World Language programs for a collaborative sharing session. As we wrap up the semester, we invite you to a roundtable discussion focused on sharing new assessment designs developed as part of the Spanish Department’s curriculum review and the lessons learned from our recent classes.  This is a space to celebrate our collective expertise, exchange innovative ideas, and kickstart a new tradition of cross-language collaboration at Wake Forest. We look forward to seeing the diverse ways our programs are evolving!
