Global Inquiry Faculty Training Seminar (June 28 - July 22)

Global Inquiry Faculty Training Seminar (GIFTS) is a four-week seminar focused on helping Jackson State faculty to retool to meet the needs of the global inquiry focus of JSU's Quality Enhancement Plan.  It meets June 28 through July 22 (excluding Fridays and weekends) from 10 AM to 3 PM.  Participants will work through a series of analytical questions, discuss common readings, learn to integrate technology into courses and maintain a journal documenting these experiences.  Faculty should emerge from GIFTS ready to develop first-year experience courses that reflect the themes of inquiry methods of the QEP.  To participate please contact Robert Blaine at robert.blaine@jsums.edu.
