Monthly Lunches:

New Faculty Teaching Scholars attend monthly lunch get-togethers.  These sessions include presentations on topics related to teaching and learning, discussions of "hot topics", viewing interesting videos, reviewing current articles or books, and other activities requested by participants.  The lunches are designed to share information, to meet the immediate needs of UM-St. Louis Teaching Scholars, and to provide a time and space for networking and collegiality.
