The Center for Faculty Excellence is pleased to announce its new Faculty-in-Residence program, beginning in the academic year, 2013-2014.  The program will bring together 3 to 5 faculty members who have proposed a program of study, reflection, planning, and action related to some aspect of faculty excellence and development.  Each year, the program will address themes or subjects that fit within the Ithaca College plan.  In the first year, emphasis will be given to diversity, experiential learning (especially undergraduate scholarship, research, and creativity), early career development, assessment, and curriculum development (especially interdisciplinary courses).  Each Resident will work on a proposed project and meet regularly with the other Residents and CFE Director for discussion, planning, and collaboration.  Duration of residency is one academic year. Residents will receive one course release per semester.

Presented by Susan Adams Delaney, Assistant Professor, Department of Writing

The ethical and effective integration of sources is fundamental to all academic writing and one of the most difficult intellectual challenges that students face. This workshop will emphasize the importance of recognizing and communicating disciplinary expectations as faculty share their own concerns and successful pedagogical practices. Faculty will learn about current research in this area (e.g. Howard et al) and try out different activities for assisting students in learning to weave their own ideas with those of sources.
