Programs/Workshops

The Weekly Lunch Series is the linchpin of The Center for Teaching and Learning programs at Truman. For many years, this regular series has brought together faculty and teaching staff from across the campus to discuss current topics in higher education; hear about each others' scholarship, service or creative projects; see demonstrations of instructional or academic technology; learn from off-campus visitors; and develop friendships.

The Weekly Lunch Series happens every Wednesday during the semester from 12:30-1:30 pm.  Fall 2009 sessions will be in the Spanish Room of the Student Union, and participants may receive $3.50 towards their Sodexho meal simply by signing the attendance sheet at any of the Union checkout counters. All faculty, GTRAs and teaching staff are welcome to attend.
