I am pleased to announce the return of the Pedagogical Institute as a response to the expansion of the Title III Initiative, Roar to Success, and to the approval of the new General Education 2023 (GE 23) program.  Instructors and coordinators of Student Success, first-year, and general education courses, TRIO personnel, student services professionals, and administrators will benefit from the workshop and discussions. 

National and world events suggest that now is the time to erase the space between thinking about something and DOING something.  There is academic value in teaching the differences between reacting and responding.  The 15^th Annual Social Justice Festival: Ideas + Action = Justice, scheduled for October 4-5, 2023, is the vehicle to reach our incoming students.  This session will: 1) provide instructors with the tools to prep students for the pre- and post- AFP 2023 festival activities 2) describe faculty and student expectations of the Roar to Success sections of UNC 101: Integrated Hour, and 3) identify techniques and methods to enhance the cooperation between UNC 100 and UNC 101.

Light breakfast will be provided starting at 8:30 a.m. The session begins at 9:00 a.m.
