Second Annual Participating Faculty Symposium 2024 In-Person
Day 1: Collaborating for Student Success: The Teaching Day
This symposium shines a light on participating faculty as educators, researchers, and leaders at Marquette. Stemming from a deep desire of participating faculty in several Communities of Practice hosted through the Center for Teaching and Learning since Spring 2023 and reflective of a variety of desires across campus, this event honors great work being done by these faculty who teach Marquette’s students, produce valuable scholarship, contribute to student success, and lead a host of initiatives across the university. All sessions are organized, hosted, and facilitated by participating faculty across campus, inviting non-participating faculty as guests in some sessions as well.
By the end of the symposium, conference attendees and participants should:
- Learn and discuss what participating faculty members’ collaborative teaching, research, and leadership looks like across campus;
- Connect with each other to cultivate community, network, get new ideas, and contribute to our teaching and research communities;
- Celebrate successes in teaching among all symposium participants, sharing tips and tricks for success;
- Elevate awareness about resources available to participating faculty to support them in their teaching, research, and leadership desires.
All faculty, staff, and graduate students should come! Participating (part- and full-time), tenure-stream faculty, teaching assistants, and staff in all units on campus are welcome to attend.
If you would like to participate by having your research/scholarship or teaching materials displayed throughout the conference, click here. We will be accepting submissions until Friday, November 15. Thank you for your interest!
Note that symposium organizers understand that people have competing priorities, so please attend what you can and leave when you need to on both days. Sign up for Day 2 here
This symposium is organized by the Center for Teaching and Learning and receives support from the Office of Faculty Affairs, the Student Success Initiative, and the College of Arts and Sciences.

|
10:00-10:20: Activity #1: Collaborating to Build Community with Students Facilitator: Melissa Vigil (Physics)
This short activity provides two specific ways to build community in a classroom or among teaching assistants. Especially in a time when faculty experience distance from their students and students from each other, intentionally designing activities that forge these relationships at Marquette helps all belong in a classroom. |

10:20-10:45: Activity #2: Collaborating to Set Boundaries as Educators Facilitators: Dr. Ed Himelblau (Biological Sciences) and Dr. Sandra Lukaszewski-Rose (Chemistry)
This session outlines the “game of boundaries,” an activity to help all instructors recognize the importance of making and maintaining boundaries. Attendees will consider different situations to actively decide where they want boundaries and will learn how to maintain them with students. |
| 10:45-11:00: Break and Conversation |
|
11:00-11:50: High-Impact Teaching and Learning Experiences Presenters: Dr. David Katz (Biomedical Sciences), Melissa Vigil (Physics), Julia Schultz (Strategic Communication), Dr. Danielle Harms (English), Jenni Strait (Nursing)
Whoa! Five faculty members will share their teaching practices in five minutes each. Symposium attendees will have opportunities to share out, get feedback on, and collaborate on their own high-impact teaching practices—and what they might want to try next. |
