Marcelo Gleiser (Physics) will discuss his recent work, funded by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation, to establish the Institute for Cross Disciplinary Engagement at Dartmouth (ICE - http://ice.dartmouth.edu) that seeks to engage both scientists and humanists to explore large unanswered questions. As Marcelo will explain, there will be several opportunities for colleagues on campus to participate in ICE’s activities.

New Faculty Workshop-Using Grading for Learning and Assessment
12:30pm - 2:00pm, Wednesday, March 16, 2016
In this interactive workshop we will discuss how to make grading a meaningful communication tool about student learning. How do different grading models reflect teaching values? Is there a difference between grading and assessment? We will also address using Canvas and other tools for creating grading criteria and rubrics. Though aimed at new faculty, all are welcome.
Lunch will be provided, please register for this workshop: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2285101
Enjoy your week-
