PROGRAM ALUMNI ALUMNI WEEKEND 2007: Program alumni and those interested in learning more about graduate study in the department of educaiton are invited to attend a wine and cheese reception on Friday, October 19, 2007 from 4:00 - 5:30 PM (Storch Memorial Hall, 2nd Floor). All are invited to attend this informal reception to catch up with old friends and make new ones! CONTINUING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY: Alumni are invited to particiate in an exciting suite of continuing education opportunities this fall at Trinity. Teachers As Scholars represents both a new vision of professional development and an innovative collaboration between college and university faculty and public school teachers. Through the program, K – 12 teachers participate in small one- or two-day seminars led by leading Trinity University professors in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences and are thus connected to the world of scholarship — one reason many of them became teachers in the first place. Who is eligible: Any teacher employed by a public school system belonging to Trinity University’s Center for Educational Leadership is eligible to participate. This includes all districts in Bexar County and the New Braunfels and Comal Independent School districts. There is NO COST for attending the sessions. For each session attended, participants will receive 6 continuing professional education (CPE) hours. For seminars with limited enrollment, registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For additional information about the program or to register for a session, contact Catherine Morell Nickle at (210) 999-7583 or email TAS@trinity.edu.
