2009 Pre-College Conference for Faculty/Staff
August 26-31, 2009

     

 

Broadening Horizons at Hope and Beyond: Educating 21st-Century Students for "Lives of Leadership and Service in a Global Society"

"Welcome" to all new full-time members of the Hope College faculty and administrative staff, and "Welcome Back" to all returning faculty and staff!

The Pre-College Conference will begin on Wednesday, August 26 and will continue through Monday, August, 31. It will include events for the entire faculty and staff as well as events to enable new members of the Hope family to get acquainted with the College and its faculty and staff.


On Thursday August 27 from 1:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. representatives of The Philadelphia Center, International Education, and Van Wylen Library will show each of us ways to work with them to enrich our teaching, our research, our advising, and our plans for continued professional development.

 

We all know that pursuing recognized excellence at Hope College requires cooperation across all sectors of the campus community. But Hope is such a complex and vibrant organization and things change so quickly that it's only too easy to lose sight of all the ways that other programs can enhance our own.

 

Each of these three programs partners with teaching faculty from every program on campus to offer opportunities for student intellectual, social, and spiritual engagement beyond the classroom . The teacher-leaders of these programs are accustomed to working collaboratively with students and faculty in pursuing their education, research, and development—one might say they accompany the rest of us in our pursuit of the good life of a liberal arts education. In this session, they will share their wisdom and experiences regarding Hope students, and offer us ways to continue these important partnerships.
