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", 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. When other campus faculty are included in programming, Teaching Scholars will convene earlier for lunch.

Monthly luncheons provide an opportunity to meet with senior faculty, converse around timely topics, and socialize with colleagues.
