The Office of Sustainability and the CLTL are very pleased to collaborate on a lunch
series during spring semester with the intention of bringing faculty together who
are interested in talking about sustainability from integrative and interdisciplinary
perspectives. We have had very lively discussions at our previous lunches, and we
fully expect the same at our next (and last for the semester) lunch conversation:
Sustainability and Business. Please join us! We will provide lunch tickets to all
participants.
IdeaLab Innovative Course Development Conversation

The IdeaLab steering committee and the CLTL are hosting a late afternoon reception

Several of our colleagues who are teaching IdeaLab courses now or preparing to teach
them next year will share their projects with the group. If you are considering creating
an IdeaLab course, please join us for this fun and informative get-together.

This will be the last NFLC meeting of the year. We will talk about faculty mentoring,
summer research, and we will celebrate the end of the semester!
Finally, because this is my last newsletter as the director of the CLTL, I would like
to take a moment to thank everyone who has participated in the Center’s activities.
To all of you who have opened your classrooms to community visitors, shared your research
in Faculty-to-Faculty talks, broken bread with Writing Group, developed terrific new
courses for our students, or taken advantage of faculty development opportunities,
thank you for your contributions and generosity. It has been a pleasure working with
you.
Have a wonderful month.
