Awesome session by Trenia Napier on “Incorporating Essential Skill 10 into Teaching & Learning.” Got to identify information literacy components in our assignments, choose anchor indicators, update our rubric language, & prepare for implementing the @CPENews Graduate Profile.

CPE’s Faculty Leadership Academy builds more than professional skills: It strengthens research and writing to deepen understanding of higher ed data and trends. Their current team project: develop a consensus topic and co-author an article for the Journal of Faculty Development.

Great on-campus opportunity for our @EKU_CoB students to get some work experience on-campus to bolster their event planning 7 communication skills (careers.eku.edu/jobs/fct-l-stu…). Plus, the @EKUfctl allows you to network with people across the university. #LookingToHire #OnCampusJob

Helpful session on “An Introduction to Transparency in Teaching & Learning (TILT)” by Dr. Dom Ashby & Dr. Karina Powell. Great content to support our instructors & work done by the @CPENews for the Graduate Profile. Proud to offer a transformational education for our students.

At #EKU, Dr. Jason Marion is uncovering the hidden toxins in lakes & streams, all while giving students hands-on experience. From testing E. coli in local creeks to earning our first major @NSF research award, Marion is turning curiosity into impact.🦠 🔗: eku.edu/news/from-cree…
