Our traditional sessions are 50 minutes and offered mainly face-to-face with the option to join virtually. We cover a wide range of topics like using AI, mentorship and career development, how to handle classroom conflict, and more. Many sessions are facilitated by TLPDC staff, and we also partner with other faculty and departments to present innovative ideas and campus resources. Please note that while we do offer a virtual option, these are designed to be delivered face-to-face and do not follow best practices for a true synchronous format.
