presented by Ivar Babb, Program Director of NURTEC presented by Evan Ward, Professor of Marine Sciences presented by Penny Vlahos, Associate Professor of Marine Sciences presented by Hans Dam, Professor of Marine Sciences presented by Michael Finiguerra, Assistant Professor in Residence of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Presented by Claudia Koerting, Research Associate and Marine Sciences Undergraduate Program Coordinator As you wander through the Student Center, you can talk with students about their research, art, and service projects. Young participants are encouraged to ask Avery Point students about their experiences on campus and get some tips on how to succeed in college. Jamie Kleinman phD, Assistant Professor in Residence from the Department of Psychology, will demonstrate some of the technological tools she uses to create an active and engaged learning environment. Participants will get the chance to try out iClickers (classroom polling devices), online polling apps, and more. The coordinators of the Avery Point Global Cafe will facilitate a mini structured dialogue on “The Power Of Simple Questions.” The Global Café is a faculty-driven, student-focused interdisciplinary learning community. Its mission is to bridge disciplinary perspectives, provide students with opportunities to make connections across courses, and enrich our campus’s learning community through lunchtime discussions and events. The structured dialogue events bring a facilitated forum to develop deep listening skills, reflect on individual values, and support a culture of mutual understanding and community-building on our campus. Christine Giambartolomei-Green, Faculty in Biology, will present a case study, “Search for The Missing Sea Otter,” that she uses in her biology course for non-science majors. Case studies engage students and render biology relevant to their everyday life while they learn critical and analytical thinking.
