<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Whitaker Center is sponsoring a pilot faculty-led “study group” this semester. Dr. Christina Anaya will be leading a group in working through the book “Student Engagement Techniques : A Handbook for College Faculty” by Elizabeth F.
Barkley. The ebook is available free from the FGCU library. <a href="https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/fgcu/detail.action?docID=6173675">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this spring semester, we’re looking for about 5 faculty from any STEM discipline who would be interested in meeting once or twice per month to work through the text and learn about integrating active learning into your STEM classroom.
Please contact her directly to become part of the study group (<a href="mailto:canaya@fgcu.edu">canaya@fgcu.edu</a>). The meeting time is TBD based on the participants’ availability, but we are leaning toward Fridays. This is a small group, so we will be
meeting in person.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please forward to your departments and anyone you think would be interested.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy New Year!<o:p></o:p></p>
