Hello all!

I hope that the semester is continuing to go well and that you are able to have lots of meaningful learning experiences with your students.  We are continuing to expand the Teaching Breakfast/Coffee Chat conversations by alternating weekly between the two options: Coffee Chat on Wednesday afternoons and Teaching Breakfast on Thursday mornings.  We will continue to meet both in person and virtually, so if you feel comfortable participating in person, come on down; if you would rather meet via Teams, hop on your computer!  These spaces will continue to be a place to come together to talk about new modalities you might be using to teach and hopefully share and get a few answers. This week we will be holding our Coffee Chat:

  *   Coffee Chat, Wednesday afternoon, November 16, 2:00-3:00pm: Fitzelle Faculty Lounge, Room 159 and on the Fall 2022 Coffee Chat Teams space<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZmI4ZDk0NzgtOGY2MS00YTQ5LWI1MzUtYmVmMmU0MTBjZTZi%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22b2c9b1a8-d1ad-4c9f-9172-728a8c08eb65%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22acdbd4c6-8ceb-4ccb-b54d-35c4ab20321f%22%7d>.

Our reading for this week comes from Inside Higher Ed with a vision of what public universities should be.

  1.  Midtier: Broad-Access Universities Are the Key to Increasing Educational Opportunity<https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/higher-ed-gamma/midtier-broad-access-universities-are-key-increasing-educational-opportunity?utm_source=Inside+Higher+Ed&utm_campaign> - This article from Inside Higher Ed explores potential characteristics of what successful universities can offer for students and faculty. The main points are deep into the article, so make sure to read through to the end to see the full point.  Many of the recommendations from the article are in line with what I think where we are heading as an institution.

We look forward to hearing how you work with your students to get them focused on their learning.  We hope to see you on this afternoon for Coffee Chat (November 16) if you can make it!
