Welcome to Latitude Online! This virtual edition of the Center for Faculty Development newsletter features articles, photos and even videos exploring the outstanding research and creative activities under way by grant recipients.
The Center for Faculty Development is growing. This is just one facet of our growth. We’re growing as a center, as a university and as a community . . . a global community. The faculty at the University of Colorado Denver take that growth serious and embrace the opportunity to be productive, proactive and to boldly question convention in this universal evolution.
In this edition of Latitude, we’ll explore this growth. We’ll question with David Tracer the hunter gatherer role among the Au tribe in Papua New Guinea; Sharon Araji will explain the importance of helping the judicial system recognize victims’ rights; Jeremy Nemeth will seek the means to maintain security without intimidation. Those are just a few of the stories featured in this edition – important innovations that will help shape the future.
The Center for Faculty Development is evolving as well. In addition to offering faculty the latest online tutorials, blogs and research opportunities through faculty development grants, you can also look forward to live online faculty discussions each week.
Stay tuned! Check out our site at http://thunder1.cudenver.edu/CFD/ to find out more about – and explore ways to be a part of – this important growth.
