Join your fellow early career faculty colleagues for the inaugural event in our Early Career Teaching Connections series!
Studies show that viewing art with others has beneficial impacts on our brains and on our mental health—and can also help students learn valuable and relevant skills for the classroom. Whether in Biology, English, Engineering, or Finance, bringing students to the Blanton Museum of Art can positively impact your students’ learning and become an integral part of your course.
In this session, participants will take part in two interactive activities that will engage you with some of the works in the Blanton’s collections, spark ideas for using the Museum in your teaching practice, and invite reflection on your experiences as an educator at UT so far. We will be joined by Senior Museum Educator for University Audiences Siobhán McCusker for an afternoon of joyful, awe-inspiring encounter with one of the Gems of our university, followed by a picnic reception on the Blanton lawn.
This event has a maximum cap of 20 participants, so sign up today to secure your spot.
