All Red Hawks can be strong students.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Faculty and staff from across the university have developed a campaign to raise awareness of the behaviors and actions that strong students develop and implement regularly.<\/strong> This<\/em> campaign makes explicit what it takes to become strong \u2013 it\u2019s small, simple acts that, in total, lead to success.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

You may not have come to teaching thinking you’d need to teach “studenting” skills<\/em>, but, in fact, it’s those skills that many of our students need support in developing. Successful instructors teach something much harder than their discipline; they teach learning.<\/p>\n

Each week of the semester, a new theme is promoted: on social media, on digital screens, in messaging to students and in university classes. The Office for Faculty Excellence will alert instructors about the week’s theme and offer guidance for supporting students in developing the behaviors.<\/p>\n

Do you have feedback about the campaign? Please let us know<\/a>.
