The 麻豆传媒 College of Arts and Sciences sponsors the speaker and lecture series FEEDS, or Faculty Education and Enrichment Development Series.
This series is intended for all SLU faculty to bring awareness to contemporary issues facing higher education and the ways in which faculty teach and facilitate student learning. This series provides opportunities for professional development from experts on these issues.
Past FEEDS Events
鈥淯sing Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom鈥�
This fall 2024 panel examined how SLU instructors are using AI in the classroom to
enhance their teaching and students鈥� learning.
鈥淕enerational Differences鈥�
This spring 2024 workshop highlighted how generational differences can impact the
faculty/student relationship and provided practical tips to foster positive relationships
in the learning environment.
鈥淎cademic Integrity鈥�
Academic integrity and concerns about student decisions and behaviors are not new.
However, we seldom take the time to develop a shared understanding and language around
academic integrity. This fall 2023 workshop included insights about the student experience
and raised key questions for departments to consider.
"The Spiritual and Religious Lives of College Students"
In spring 2023, John Schmalzbauer, Ph.D., the Blanche Gorman Strong Chair in Protestant
Studies at Missouri State University, presented on the religious and spiritual lives
of college students at church-related colleges and universities. He drew on data found
in UCLA鈥檚 American Freshman Survey as well as surveys from Catholic, evangelical and
Protestant universities. Schmalzbauer discussed 鈥渘ones," those students who do not
identify with a religion; the importance and impact of religious diversity in the
classroom; and the relevance of student spirituality for academics.
