Join us for gradSTEP2009!

A Graduate Teaching Event for Professional Development

Held in January each year, gradSTEP is a one-day exploration on issues related to teaching, learning, and professional development across the disciplines. This year, for the first time, the Graduate Teaching Fellows at the Center for Teaching have started a gradSTEPblog. This forum is intended to help create an ongoing discussion on workshop topics prior to the event. Therefore, we would like to invite you not only to come join us in January but also to contribute to the conversation on this blog here and now by commenting on the blog posts you see here! Further details on joining the discussion can be found on theĀ How to Use this Blog page. We also have an Open Session in which YOU can determine the topic.

Where? Buttrick Hall, VU

When? January 17th, 2009
