Convocation Teaching Faculty Scholar Program
When you register at Convocation Faculty Scholar Registration all you need to let us know is your name, title, academic department, academic division and what scholarly activities you are planning for your students around the themes of Convocation. (See more about Convocation’s 2022 speaker).
Faculty who participated in the Convocation Institute (CI) to be held on Wednesday January 19/26, 2022 from 10:00 am – Noon, live and via Zoom, do not need to register again as a Convocation Faculty Scholar. Priority for a copy of a Convocation Day-related book and registration for the CI will be giving to teaching faculty with plans to require their students to attend Convocation Day.
The CI will focus on discussing The Frontlines of Peace: An Insider’s Guide to Changing the World by Severine Autesserre. Be sure to register as soon as possible in order to receive a copy of the book.
We will acknowledge and thank our new teaching faculty scholars with a certificate of appointment as well as inclusion in our publicized list of Convocation Faculty Scholars at our website. Note that over 80 teaching faculty enrolled as Convocation Faculty Scholars at our last live Convocation Day.
