June 16 & June 30 (Term 1)
July 28 & August 11 (Term 2)

This is an opportunity for Adjunct faculty to chat with the Deans of SSW over coffee/tea and refreshments to ask questions, address concerns, and simply build connections throughout their time in the SSW program.
This year, we have embarked on training faculty to facilitate critical conversations, a model developed by Professors Hye-Kyung Kang and Peggy O'Neill in 2015. Our larger goal is to build the capacity of faculty, staff and students to facilitate critical conversations. This is a multi-year project. Initially, for this year, we are training and supporting faculty to engage the Critical Conversation Model. We will engage student leaders and the broader student community over 2016-2017.
Follow the link below for a concise but detailed description of the Critical Conversations model.
