Faculty Professional Development

MLWGS faculty professional development this year included presentations led by current faculty members and by visiting educators.

Workshops led by visiting educators include "Research for the Classroom and the Curriculum" by Dr. Robert Tai, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia, and "Developing Scientific Communication Skills in Our Students" by Dr. Ann Penrose, Professor of English, North Carolina State University.

An overview of the summer revisions to the FIRC curriculum were presented by Jeremy Clark, Christie Riles, Celie Boswell, Wendy DeGroat, and Phil Sorrentino.

Funding for the sessions was provided by donations to the Governor's School Foundation.
