The Notice and Respond: Assisting Students in Distress workshops were developed as part of a broad public health approach to help our campus community understand the potential role they play in maintaining campus mental health. The faculty version models an effective interaction between a faculty member and a distressed student. Participants explore common concerns that may present barriers to taking action, and learn why a proactive response is vitally important. A combination of learning modalities is used, including a realistic filmed scenario, participant discussion and a review of response options and campus resources. Lunch will be provided by TILT. |

This workshop will expose participants to helpful models and communication principles for interacting across cultural differences. We might speak a common language, but still have very different ways of interacting depending on our cultural identity and back ground. Learning about cultural patterns can help us interact with our colleagues and serve our students more effectively. Join us in this substantive and interactive session. |

Starting this fall, a group of "dialoguers" from across campus will meet to collectively explore how they understand specific issues related to gender and apply their perspective to their personal and professional lives. The dialogues featured in Collaborative Conversations do more than just highlight the “what” of diversity and inclusion - they also model the “how” of engaging in unscripted, open-ended dialogue to learn from and with one another across our differences. Each Collaborative Conversation features an hour of dialogue with opportunities for audience participation. The space will be held for a second hour so that attendees who wish to stay may informally discuss and process topics raised in the conversation. * These events will be recorded and links will be made available for viewing by public audiences. |

The Latin word “persona” most directly translates to “mask.” What kind of mask should we wear while teaching? Should we wear a mask while teaching? How much of our teaching persona should be our authentic personality and how much of it should be a mask? How do we develop a teaching style that works for us as instructors and is also conducive to student learning? These questions are particularly salient for Graduate Teaching Assistants who may not be much older than their students and/or may not perceive themselves as having much more experience than their students. Together, we will explore what it means to put on a mask and to embrace a persona that strikes the right balance between your authentic self and the masked authority figure needed to effectively manage a classroom. Lunch will be provided. This workshop counts toward the Graduate Teaching Certificate. |

Situating Oneself in an Interconnected World through Activity-Based Learning |
Engage students in learning by using dynamic activities that engage their imagination. This interactive presentation will use two examples to explore how drawing, experiential activities, and identity exploration can be used to teach complex topics. By making lessons relevant to the lives of students, they walk away with a deeper understanding of their discipline as well as greater awareness of themselves as thinkers and actors in an interconnected world. Discussion will allow participants from all disciplines to share their own techniques for engaging students in activities-based learning. |

Ecology in the 21st century requires cross-disciplinary and international collaboration.

CSU staculty (faculty and staff who sailed on Semester at Sea) will share what they have learned from engaging students in research, co-curricular experiences, collaborating across divisions, and developing cross-national partnerships. While facilitators will share specific examples of engaged learning, discussion will allow participants to share what methods have worked (or not) as a means of engaging students in global issues and concerns. Lunch will be served. |

What is Inclusive Pedagogy, why should I care about it, and how can I create it? Inclusive pedagogy is a method of teaching in which educators and students work together to create a supportive and open environment that fosters social justice and allows each individual to be fully present and feel equally valued (Georgetown University, 2017). Research shows that classroom climate impacts student learning, persistence, and well-being; as educators, we have the opportunity to implement diversity and inclusion best practices into our classrooms to maximize student learning. Through this interactive session, strategies, techniques, and personal narratives will be employed to better inform inclusive pedagogical practice. |

Sex Work or Sex Trafficking?: Perspectives from Research and Real Life |
Feminists have been debating the commercial sex industry since the 1980s, with some arguing that pornography and prostitution inherently degrade women and others advocating for feminist erotica and legalized sex work. Increased attention to the problem of human trafficking recently has revived this debate among feminists, and both research and survivor stories shape feminist perspectives on commercial sex exploitation. This discussion will feature Dr. Karrin Anderson, Professor of Communication Studies and instructor of the CSU course “SPCM 320: Communication and Human Trafficking,” and Megan Lundstrom, Director of Free Our Girls, a northern Colorado anti-trafficking organization that works with survivors of human trafficking and educates our community on trafficking prevention. The discussion will focus on the nature of commercial sex exploitation, using current research and the real-world experiences of survivors to inform a discussion about feminist responses to sex work and sex trafficking. |

We all want every student to succeed, and we want them to understand that they are welcomed and supported. What strategies can we employ to achieve these goals? And, as importantly, what might we be doing that hampers our progress? There’s no single answer to these questions, and all of us have experiences that will shed light on this issue. In this session, we’ll spend most of our time in small moderated groups, sharing ideas and insights with our colleagues. You’ll get to meet and interact with folks from other departments, you’ll come away with an increased understanding of the issues at play, and you’ll pick up—and you’ll share with others—some practical suggestions of how to make your classroom more equitable and more inclusive. Please join the conversation! Please RSVP to cns_info@colostate.edu by Friday, October 6, 2017. |
