Teaching and Learning Seminar
In this week's Teaching and Learning Seminar, we will have a series of lightning talks on active learning. We will kick-off the meeting with an introduction to active learning from Dr. Ben Braun. After that, some instructors will share 5-minute talks or demonstrations of an activity they have done in their courses. Finally, we will end with discussion and questions.
If you would like to give one of the 5-minute talks, please contact Dr. Chloe Urbanski Wawrzyniak at ChloeUWawrzyniak@uky.edu.

The goal of the Teaching and Learning Seminar is to create a community of graduate students and faculty who want to learn new techniques, ask questions, and share ideas in order to better our teaching and our students' learning.

STEMCats Living Learning Program
STEMCats, sponsored by HHMI, is designed to help students succeed at UK. The program prepares students both academically and socially through participation in FastTrack or FOCUS, research opportunities, and special seminar courses. Students participating in STEMCats will build confidence, enthusiasm, satisfaction and a sense of belonging to UK, and experience a smoother transition to college coursework. This leads to improved performance and higher academic achievement.
Faculty Poster Presentation
The Department of Chemistry hosted a Faculty Poster Presentation on Friday, September 4, 2015. This annual event is an opportunity for new graduate students to meet Chemistry faculty members and learn about their current research projects.Each of the 30 new graduate students needs to choose a research group by December, and the poster Presentation is designed them find a project that aligns with their interests. This choice is critical, because the research group a student chooses this semester will determine the course of his or her academic career.
