SEP Workshop: Welcoming Environment & Syllabus Development

Syllabus Makeover Lab – Changing the Tone!

Creating a welcoming learning environment does not require a complete course or syllabus redesign. This interactive Share Tank invites faculty to rethink the syllabus as more than a collection of policies and requirements, but as an opportunity to establish connection, clarity, and belonging from the start. Participants will examine their syllabi through a student-centered lens, exchange effective strategies and examples with colleagues, collaboratively problem-solve common syllabus challenges, and identify practical changes they can immediately incorporate into their own courses.
