Events

During my Humphrey Fellowship, my primary goal was to explore best practices in education and understand how faculty members can be supported in their professional development. To achieve this, I engaged in a variety of courses and workshops that deepened my knowledge in key areas such as the fundamentals of pedagogy, effective teaching and learning strategies, student engagement, and inclusive classroom practices. Beyond the academic experience, the program also offered countless cultural opportunities—from football games and sports events to concerts and parades—which greatly enriched my personal and professional journey.

In this presentation, I will share insights into the life of a Humphrey Fellow and reflect on how I plan to make the most of my remaining time at Penn State.

This endorsement is part of the Provost Endorsement Program.

This endorsement engages experienced instructors in implementing inclusive and equitable teaching in their current or upcoming course(s).  This program assumes participants already understand the need for inclusive and equitable practices. Eligible participants must have teaching responsibilities in the current or upcoming academic year so that they can most immediately benefit from the content of the program by applying program concepts to their teaching. Participants will revise a syllabus or assignments for future use, reflect on their teaching based on student feedback and peer interactions, and consider how they might cultivate belonging in their courses.  Once participants have registered, they will be added to a Canvas course and connected with a SITE faculty consultant.

The Improv and Pedagogy Teaching Community workshops feature small and large group discussions on connections between improv and our teaching, and improv games and exercises facilitated by company members of Happy Valley Improv and Penn State faculty members. These stand-alone, interactive workshops are held in downtown State College at the Blue Brick Theatre, 209 West Calder Way. Lunch will be provided.
