Faculty: Opportunities Available to Teach an Ithaca Seminar Course

04/18/18

 We are currently actively seeking faculty and staff who are willing to be a part of the Ithaca Seminar program.

 Ithaca Seminars offer an opportunity to connect with first-year students in a way that will shape their academic and individual life experiences leading to a successful transition to Ithaca College; we are seeking passionate educators who are enthusiastic about helping first-year students thrive in their new academic setting, as well as in their campus community.

The goals of the Ithaca Seminar Program are to:

• Offer first-year students an intellectual liberal arts experience in a small class setting;
• Provide a classroom experience where students will learn to analyze and critically evaluate ideas, arguments, and points of view;
• Introduce students to the Integrative Core Curriculum and their electronic portfolio;
• Connect learning with other aspects of academic and college life to help first year students make a successful transition to college

Additional perks for teaching an Ithaca Seminar course:

• Significant support in course development
• Eligibility for a course development summer grant
• Eligibility for up to four credits of overload

Please contact Maria McGuane in the Office of the Provost by e-mail at mmcguane@ithaca.edu or by phone at (607) 274-7971 with questions or for more information.
