LLCC’s Fall Professional Development Day will be held on Tuesday, November 1, 2016. It is a great opportunity to share ideas, support your colleagues, learn something new or expand upon skills and talents you already have. There will be activities and breakout sessions planned throughout the day with something for everyone.
The Professional Development Day work group is currently seeking proposals for presentations addressing a variety of topics, so please consider presenting a breakout session for your colleagues on that day. Sessions will be provided that focus on increased productivity, enhanced skills, innovative techniques in and out of the classroom, among other areas of development. We will also be focusing on professional development impacting two specific goals – engaging students inside and outside of the classroom and working with diverse populations inside and outside of the classroom.
We know that faculty and staff have an abundance of knowledge and experience that may be beneficial to your colleagues, and we would love if you would share that with us! If you or a team of individuals would like to present a session on Professional Development Day, please fill out the Call for Proposals form. All submissions must be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19. The committee is excited to provide an opportunity for you to share your best practices, innovative techniques and knowledge/experience!
Please contact Becky Parton, rebecca.parton@llcc.edu if you have any questions.
LLCC’s Arts and Humanities department will host a free film and discussion series this fall entitled, “Through a Different Lens.” The first film showing will be this evening from 6-9 p.m. in the Trutter Center, featuring:
“Fresa y chocolate” (1994) This film explores the unlikely friendship that develops between two Cuban men who have very different attitudes toward the Revolution. Their friendship becomes the vehicle through which they begin to view the “other” through a different lens which ultimately leads them to a more profound understanding of freedom.
The series is hosted by Ashley Green, Ph.D., assistant professor of English; Paul Van Heuklom, professor of English; and Joseph Hoff, Ph.D., professor of Spanish.
In addition, the Trutter Museum will be open, with culturally relevant artifacts from the Trutter collection on display in the reception area. Beginning Sept. 30, a new exhibit, “Trutter: Black and White,” will open, featuring photos of landmarks designed by Philip Trutter. Film series attendees are encouraged to come early to enjoy the art and history prior to the film showings.
The next films in the series are:
Sept. 22: “Who is Dayani Cristal?” (2013) This film begins with the discovery of a body in the Arizona desert. With few identifying marks, the staff of the Pima County Morgue attempt to identify this body and, in doing so, they begin to put a human face on one of the many migrants and refugees who move through Central America and Mexico to reach the “north.” Continue reading
