Dr. Noah Finkelstein Presenting
The first event in the Provost’s Conference Series was held Friday, April 1 with CU Boulder’s Drs. Noah Finkelstein and Sarah Andrews. Their keynote addressed how expanding the voice and types of evidence used in understanding teaching quality has implications for equity. Approximately 30 faculty and faculty leaders attended in person, with more joining via Zoom. To view the keynote once ready and learn more about upcoming conference events, visit our website. The event also officially launched three inaugural Department Action Teams (DATs@DU). During the second hour of the event, DU DATs were joined by a panel of DAT leaders from CU Boulder.
Once again, congratulations to our inaugural DATS!
