CEL Workshop: Connecting Students through Empathy Mapping
Our students bring many layers to the classroom — from working full-time and feeling anxious, to increased DSO accommodations and financial insecurity — but classes still have skills and content to cover. How can we identify these layers and how might we help students be more motivated and successful in our classes? Erin Kraal and Karen Rauch from the Center for Engaged Learning will lead an empathy mapping activity focused on how students engage with the specific components of your course(s) 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 31, CEL Office, 6 Rohrbach Library.
