The Office of Graduate Student Life

Whole Person Education Workshop Series

sponsored by the office of graduate student life

What does it mean to educate the whole person? Faculty often think of themselves as educators of the mind, but students come to the classroom as whole persons, with all of their social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual experiences and concerns. Furthermore, decades of scholarship on learning and development suggest that the growth of the mind is inextricably linked to the growth of the heart and of the spirit.

This series of workshops, sponsored by The Office of Graduate Student Life, is aimed at graduate students in all disciplines who intend to teach in higher education. It is meant to complement discipline-based programs on teaching, as well as the teaching workshops offered by the Connors Family Learning Center.

The objective is to help our graduate students understand how the complex human beings they will soon encounter as teachers and mentors learn and develop through the undergraduate years. Lunch will be provided at all sessions.
