The DCAE is excited to present our list of scheduled events for Academic Year 2009-2010. In addition to the sessions listed below, the DCAE may hold guest speaker events as well as additional workshops to meet the needs of our faculty. Please check this page often for updates to the list of scheduled events. The workshops are relatively structured with some opportunity for presenter interaction. The brown bags are informal topical discussions providing opportunities for faculty across the university to engage in dialogue with one another. We will also continue hosting get-togethers where faculty can meet one another, enjoy some food, and have the chance to develop collegial connections.
