Faculty members who primarily teach\, rather than do research\, have become increasingly important for delivering courses at research universities. Alumni will share what their jobs are like\, how they became interested in teaching\, how they ended up at research institutions and how they fit within their departments\, and what growth and progression can look like in these types of career paths. These alumni teach in computer science and engineering\, chemistry and biochemistry\, and English\, at UC San Diego\, the University of Delaware\, and the University of Wyoming. \nThis is the first event in our three-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nEvent Schedule\nThis online event meets on Monday\, November 3rd at 9-10pm Gulf / 12-1pm Eastern / 11am-12pm Central / 10-11am Arizona / 9-10am Pacific.
