Workshops and Events
The Center for Faculty Development and Excellence is dedicated to cultivating a culture of lifelong learning, faculty development, and integrative teaching. As part of this effort, the CFDE provides workshop opportunities and events that enable faculty members to improve teaching and pedagogy approaches.
Games promote office hour participation by undergraduate students
Speaker: Dr. Patrick Cafferty, Teaching Professor & Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Biology
Date: June 23, 2025
Time: 1:15 - 2:45 pm
In-person workshop
Co-sponsored by the NCAPP (National Conference to Advance POGIL Practice) and the Center for Faculty Development and Excellence (CFDE)
Office hours are a widely used, optional form of academic support that allows students to meet with their instructors. Despite evidence that students benefit from student-faculty interactions, instructors broadly report that office hour attendance is poor. During this workshop, I will present how I used different programs, including going running, coloring scientific illustrations, drawing class material with side-walk chalk, and playing card games in a weekly "Alternative Office Hour" to encourage my students attend office hours. I will present my observations, attendance rates, and anonymous survey results that reveal the use of programing promotes student office hour participation. Together, we will brainstorm ways to promote office hour attendance and student engagement in different settings.
This workshop is part of the NCAPP conference that will be taking place on campus during that week.
This workshop is free and open to all Emory faculty, graduate students, post docs, and staff. There are only 20 seats available at this time. Registration will be closed when the registration limit has been reached. Only registered participants will be able to attend the workshop.

Students as Evaluators: A Model for Meaningful Evaluation
Speaker: Dr. Patricia Campbell, Campbell-Kibler Associates, Inc.
Date: June 23, 2025
Time: 1:15 - 2:45 pm
In-person workshop
Co-sponsored by the NCAPP (National Conference to Advance POGIL Practice) and the Center for Faculty Development and Excellence (CFDE)
What happens when students take the lead in evaluating programs and initiatives? They step into new roles, collaborate with adults as peers, and surface insights that often go unnoticed. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore a proven model for student-led evaluation through discussion, hands-on activities, and role play. You'll walk through each step of the process, examine the benefits and challenges, and leave with practical resources to help you partner with students in conducting useful evaluations.
Dr. Patricia Campbell has been involved in educational research and evaluation with a focus on science and mathematics education and issues of race/ethnicity, gender and disability since the mid 1970's.
This workshop is part of the NCAPP conference that will be taking place on campus during that week.
