The Association of American Colleges & Universities defines it as “an understanding and a disposition that a student builds across the curriculum and co-curriculum, from making simple connections among ideas and experiences to synthesizing and transferring learning to new, complex situations within and beyond the campus.”</p> <p> Intentional learning is the key, <strong>Tisha Paredes</strong> notes. It encourages self-awareness in students.</p> <p> On March 25, a cross-campus panel of faculty members will be on hand to share ways that they have worked toward integrative learning for their own students. The panel includes <strong>Ed Gomez</strong>, Associate Professor, Human Movement Sciences; <strong>Vivian Paige</strong>, Instructor, Accounting; and <strong>Scott Sechrist</strong>, Associate Professor, Medical Diagnostic and Translational Sciences. </p> <p> We should hear some exciting ideas, and we encourage you to join the conversation. Please join us for this discussion about ways to encourage the integration of your students’ learning across academic, co-curricular, and practical real-world experiences. Bring your colleagues! </p>
