7th Annual New TA Orientation and Teaching Conference
Wednesday, August 27 (Mitten Hall) and
Thursday, August 28, 2008 (Tuttleman Learning Center)

The annual New TA Orientation and Teaching Conference is just around the corner! Last year, over 300 Teaching Assistants participated in sessions that helped them prepare for teaching at Temple. Participation in both days of this conference is mandatory for all new TAs (0-1 semesters), but returning TAs and graduate student adjuncts are encouraged to attend. The conference offers graduate student teachers a unique opportunity to network, share ideas, and discuss teaching challenges common to all disciplines.

An invitation to register for this event will follow in the coming months. In the meantime, please SAVE THE DATE!
