Many students face challenges returning to their previous course loads and on-campus activities\, and many faculty members are experiencing a lack of engagement and participation as students transition back into the classroom\, regardless of modality. The result – a disengaged learning environment for all. Now more than ever\, faculty need solutions to help them reach their learners in meaningful ways. \n\n\n\nIn this discussion\, Dr. Gannon will share his insights into creating a sustainable presence in the post-pandemic classroom\, accompanied by staff\, alumni\, and current College Teaching and Learning Science program students with diverse professional backgrounds. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\n\n\n\nKevin Gannon\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\n\nKevin Gannon\, Ph.D. is the director of the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence(CAFÉ) and a professor of history at Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.).
