You're Invited! Register Today for the Inaugural Teacher-Scholar Forum

[Hobbs, Megan]

Please join us for our inaugural Teacher-Scholar Forum on April 29th and 30th. Inspired by the CAT's Inclusive Teaching Conference and made possible through a partnership with the Office of the Provost and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, this annual event will bring together faculty from across our schools to learn together and celebrate the teacher-scholar ideal. This year, we are delighted to welcome James Lang to campus. The author of many books beloved by Wake Forest faculty, Jim's most recent work challenges us to apply our teaching skills to our writing—perfectly embodying the teacher-scholar ideal these forums aim to support. In addition to the main events on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jim will be offering a pre-conference workshop for up to 30 participants on Monday afternoon. Register now to reserve your seat!
