Lunch Discussion

This week’s discussion will be led by Honors College student, and regular LD attendee and facilitator, Neil Hester, and Thomas Reynolds, FYE Coordinator and Honors advisor. Neil has decided to be cryptic with the topic, simply saying that the topic is “very much relevant to everyone.” So make room in your schedule to attend Lunch Discussion this week!

Lunch Discussion is held every Friday from 12:00-1:00 pm in the Horn/Knapp Residence Hall southwest lobby lounge. Enter the building through the west-facing central doors (facing the band practice parking lot) and turn right to find the lounge. Food and great discussion are always provided!

Engaged and Integrated Scholar Series

The Office of Community Engagement invites the Honors College staff and students to attend the upcoming Engaged and Integrated Scholar series on Tuesday, April 10, 2012 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in the TLPDC, Room 153.

This is a lunch event which spotlights Texas Tech University faculty who participate in engaged scholarship while integrating their methodologies and findings into their professional work, pedagogy, and classroom performance expectation. The series is designed to increase faculty, student, and staff understanding of what engaged and integrated scholarship is, expound on different methodologies utilized in such scholarship, examine differing theoretical perspectives of engaged scholarship, and encourage cross-institutional discussion and collaboration of engaged and integrated research. Lunch will be provided to all registered attendees.
