DU Symposium

About DU Symposium

The symposium model is a quarter-century-old innovation faculty collaborative problem solving model created by The University of Georgia to initiate faculty-led campus change. See the Morris article (available under the shared readings tab) for a two-page summary of the symposium model. Here is a two-page article that introduces the symposium model we will be using:

Morris, L. V. (2008). Faculty Engagement in the Academy. Innovative Higher Education; New York, 33(2),
67–69.

This model allows faculty from across campus to come together to engage in collective problem solving around an issue of shared concern with a shared purpose: Improving the lives of faculty members in their department.
