Participate in IntroDUCKtion by delivering a Faculty Perspectives presentation aimed at fostering early engagement between incoming students and faculty, and building a sense of campus belonging.   Student feedback has consistently affirmed the positive impact the Faculty Perspectives sessions have on students’ transition to college, and in expanding their understanding of the culture of inquiry and breadth of academic opportunities at a liberal arts and sciences research university.  This program invites faculty to share their joys of discovery and creativity, and the outcomes and applications of their research, scholarship, and teaching.
