SUMMARY:Equity-Fostering Syllabus Working Group
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid\, Biweekly\, Fridays from 10:00-11:00am \nThis is a collaborative\, faculty-led\, practically-oriented community focusing on fostering equity through developing our syllabi and engaging them meaningfully in class.

SUMMARY:Geospatial learning across disciplines
DESCRIPTION:Virtual program \nYou’re invited to attend a workshop for University of Maine System faculty from any discipline to learn how to integrate cutting-edge geospatial technologies into courses. No prior experience is required! \nWhat are geospatial technologies/ geographic information systems (GIS)? It’s all about connecting. GIS connects different kinds of data to a map\, providing a foundation for analysis that is used in just about every discipline. GIS helps people discover patterns and relationships in a geographic context. Right now\, faculty are asking their students to explore socio-cultural issues in health care\, environmental topics in basic biology\, applications in digital humanities\, and much more.  \nThe Geospatial Learning Across Disciplines workshop will also provide a pathway for faculty to apply for competitive stipends of up to $1\,500* to include discipline-appropriate geospatial teaching and learning activities in climate-change-related courses. \nLearn more and register now.
