Annual Recognition Banquet
In addition to recognizing the individual accomplishments of RP members, we would like to use this event as a forum for Teaching Circles (both departmental and interdisciplinary) to showcase their goals and activities during the course of this academic year. We would like each Teaching Circle to present this information in either a flyer/brochure or a poster format. For those opting for the brochure/flyer format, we would like to have copies available for distribution at the Recognition Dinner, and later we would like to post this information on the RP website. For those opting for the poster format, we will have space available to display the posters at the recognition dinner. The dinner is usually attended by a large number of RP members, the provost, and the deans of each college. This event will be an excellent way for you to receive recognition for the work you have done. It is also an excellent opportunity for RP to showcase and promote the diversity of interests and accomplishments supported through the Center for Teaching Excellence.
