Connections

The Hubbard Center electronically publishes our newsletter, Connections, three times each semester. The primary purpose of the newsletter is to facilitate networking and the sharing of information that promotes professional growth.

During the academic year, four issues of Connections focus on teaching and learning, students, instructional technology, diversity, legal issues, and/or professional development. In an effort to build campus community, each fall semester we use an additional issue of Connections to introduce some of our new tenure-track faculty, highlighting their teaching interests, research areas, and some personal hobbies or interests. Each spring semester we focus another issue on senior and retiring faculty, again sharing some of their accomplishments or plans for the future.
