The UAA community is also invited to Chung’s public lecture on Thursday, March 28: 'Moving Forward, Thinking Ahead: The Value and Ideals of a Good Education'. What constitutes a good education? How do we measure a good education? In this session, we will discuss ways in which higher education can prepare and support students with the skills and experiences needed for success in the community and in the workforce.

March 29: Let's Get Critical
Chung will lead the workshop 'Let’s Get Critical! Workshop' on connecting creative and critical thinking competencies with student engagement. As students continue to feel uncertain and overwhelmed thinking about life after college, this discussion is a practical session on how to specifically connect two (often) diametrically opposed ways of pedagogical learning: creative expression and critical understanding in course development, design and evaluation, with special attention to the skillsets established in core competencies.
