11th ANNUAL FACULTY COLLOQUIUM PROGRAM | 2015

ACQUIRE BALANCE CONNECT

The 11th Annual Faculty Colloquium Committee welcomes you in joining us for presentations, projects,

and best practices developed and, ideally, delivered collaboratively. In line with this year’s theme, the

committee invited proposals that emphasized the scholar and creating a community of scholars following

three concepts framing the approach: Acquire, Balance, Connect.

A scholar yearns for knowledge and mastery of knowledge. Therefore, a scholar engages in various types of

scholarship to acquire knowledge and mastery: research, teaching, practice. The scholar needs to maintain

balance between the life roles of work and rest in order to remain effective. Scholars need to connect with

other scholars, and they benefit in creating a community where collaboration can occur.

ACQUIRE

• Engage in the journey to obtain, apply, integrate knowledge

• Conduct original research

• Believe learning is an iterative process

BALANCE • Continue life skills and tasks

• Maintain pedagogy

• Seek awareness of self-care/life roles

CONNECT• Connect with fellow faculty to support

each other in scholarly work

• Generate new ideas for practice and research

• Collaborate with college community

Register Online by December 15, 2014

CREATING A COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS

The 2015 Scholars Themed Colloquium provides

presenters the opportunity to share their past and current

scholarly pursuits and achievements and to collaborate on

future ideas with colleagues. This is also a time to bridge

the relationships between disciplines, and create and

foster a supportive environment for students, faculty, staff

and administration.

We encourage you to attend a lecture or demonstration,

discussion, or a workshop that educates, empowers,

and energizes our college community. As you consult or

converse with colleagues within or across disciplinary,

division, campus, or college boundaries, we hope that you

will enjoy our topics within our three formats.

Samuel LiPuma, Associate Professor, Philosophy/Humanities,

Western Campus

The history of brain death, along with critical commentary

on the notion of whole brain death which is the current

legal standard, will be presented. This will be followed

by a defense of a new definition, higher brain death, in

which death is associated with the permanent elimination

of all mental processing. Determining the most coherent

standard for brain death is relevant to all of us since we

inevitably participate in our healthcare delivery system

in some manner as either patients, family members, or

professional healthcare providers.

This presentation will show foreign language and ESL

instructors how to intellectually stimulate their students’

interest in learning the target language by incorporating

culturally authentic materials into the curriculum of face-

to-face classes. Using culturally authentic materials

makes the target language more tangible to the learner

by encouraging them to communicate more readily in

the target language. More importantly, having students

regularly work with culturally authentic materials challenges

them to be more sensitive to the global community in

which we live.

A8

NEGOTIATED SELF

Rachel Kazmier, Assistant Professor, English,

COOPERATIVE LEARNING AT THE SENTENCE LEVEL

Lorrie DiGiampietro, Assistant Professor, English,

Western Campus

For years now, we’ve been engaging our students

in cooperative learning activities inside the college

composition classroom. Techniques such as the Jigsaw,

Round Table, Think-Pair-Share, Speed Dating and the

Cooperative Lecture have become common features of

our modern approach to teaching. And yet, while these

activities lend themselves to the global concerns of writing

(idea development, analysis, rhetorical strategy), we’re

less likely to engage our students in cooperative learning

activities that address sentence-level concerns (those

very issues most likely to put our students to sleep at the

desk). In this hands-on workshop, attendees will participate

in four cooperative learning activities designed to breathe

new life into sentence-level instruction.

A11

inhibits our ability to solve problems. The techniques which

we will use in this exercise are applicable and reproducible

in all academic settings.
