Survey Question 9
If departments are unable to have the traditional department open houses in the fall how do departments intend to engage students?
|
We plan to have remote seminars that include undergraduates, including our annual "Professor on Parade" where all of the faculty give a 3 minute explanation of their teaching and research |
|
Have the traditional open houses as Zoom meetings. |
|
ZOOM Hangouts and "walk-by" outdoor tables with materials/promotional items are possible. This may draw in the students who live on campus, and those attending hybrid courses. Maybe the different units in the college can schedule a day on the alumni mall/fountain area to host a quick "walk-by" event. |
|
Virtual sessions at various times throughout the semester. |
|
We are thinking about a virtual event. It will likely not be well attended since there won't be food offered, but I was thinking about doing a raffle for some bookstore or starbucks gift cards that we could then mail to students as an enticement to come. But, I would pay for those out of my own pocket. |
|
Our social media accounts have, collectively, hundreds of friends and followers. We'll use these platforms to regularly share stories, highlight achievements, etc. that pertain to our mission. |
|
The International and Global Studies program will continue something we started in the spring, which was a Virtual Picnic for students (and affiliated faculty) to join at any point during an hour-long lunch where folks could meet with me, Robert, and Rob to just talk about what's going on. We are also planning to host a kind of teach-in event that will address BLM in global perspective and invite students to share their thoughts and concerns. |
|
We are currently planning a virtual open house, hosted in Zoom. |
|
We will have larger Zoom meetings, but also small groups, and even individual meeting with students and faculty. |
|
We’re still working this out – sessions linking the earth sciences disciplines and skills to current issues to highlight the work earth scientists are doing will likely be at the core of our outreach efforts. |
|
We can organize online social events. |
|
We could do an online one. My experience has been that students are just as likely to attend an online session. We can also infuse the information into the sophomore level courses. |
|
Distant learning through online teaching, Zoom, emails, and phone calls. |
|
We have talked about a virtual open house. Actually, we will try to do several virtual events with our students throughout the fall. |
|
We started discussing that during our last department Zoom meeting. We are looking at having guest lecturers do Zoom presentations, organizing remote movie nights, Zoom conversation tables, etc. |
