The Nashman Center's Faculty Learning Communities meet monthly for one year, building relationships across disciplines through shared learning on a topic of interest. Join us for guest speakers, learn about your colleague’s approaches to community engagement, and build relationships with people from other academic departments who share your values for community engagement in academic work.

GW faculty with an interest in community engagement to enhance student learning are welcome to join this 2022 FLC, which will meet monthly on Fridays at noon, via Zoom.

Other topics we will explore this year:
- Our community partners as co-educators
- Facilitating engaging classroom discussions

- Feedback that maximizes student learning
- Considerations in labor-based grading
