Professor John Frazier began this faculty initiative, and we are all very grateful for it! Faculty meet to create community, learn from each other, and share our high impact strategies with each other. This experience was invaluable for us!
I attended the Faculty: Becoming a Changemaker Faculty event at Kendall Campus and helped to speak with faculty who have not been involved previously with Changemaking to share tips and strategies to help them get started. We had a very informative discussion, and there were faculty, staff and administrators who spoke together at a roundtable about the possibilities. I believe that the faculty participants who were new to Changemaking will become engaged and adopt strategies that we discussed.
I had the opportunity to request and collect clothing, work with volunteers including students from two of my classes, and watch as over 60 students came in and selected free clothing, donated in some cases, learned about fast fashion through the documentary, and appeared to enjoy themselves and feel part of a sense of community. I believe this event was very well received and was highly regarded by participants. We are already talking about repeating the event and how we can make the impact sustainable. Thank you for this opportunity and for everyone who attended, donated clothing and / or helped organize, spread the word about, and volunteer for the event!
There were many events available for students at this Health Fair. Thank you! Students were able to pet and be soothed by the therapy dogs, create jewelry and bracelets, create and draw their own bags, learn about nursing, and obtain basic medical assessments (blood draws and blood pressure checks). This was a very helpful event for students!
Very brave students debated opposing positions on the topic of whether we should abolish the electoral college. The student debaters did a wonderful job supporting their individual positions.
This was a wonderful event that allowed students to meet and connect with community partners for their service!
What a wonderful speaker! He was interesting, funny, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. I hope that you can share the slides and recording with faculty to share with their other classes!
