Inspired by the BU Strategic Planning Pillar: Community, Big Yet Small, Food for Thought is an opportunity for faculty and graduate student instructors to meet together over lunch and share ideas, questions, and strategies about their teaching. The program emphasizes meeting people who teach in different areas of Boston University to build community across disciplines, schools, and campuses. As part of the program, CTL will cover the cost of lunches for groups of up to four people at a BU eatery.
About the Program
Boston University is a big institution, for faculty and students, and it can be difficult to meet people beyond our departments or programs. Food for Thought aims to help build community and encourage conversations about teaching by providing opportunities for stronger connections between faculty who may then inspire each other with their ideas and approaches. To do so, the CTL will coordinate groups of interested individuals, reserve a spot for your on-campus lunch, and pay for your meal.
After you have met with your colleagues, CTL will send you a very short form to complete to let us know about the general teaching-related topics that came up in your conversation. This feedback will help us understand what questions about teaching are on the minds of faculty and graduate student instructors.
Sign Up Information
Please complete this form any time between now and April 14, 2023 to sign up. Once we are able to put a group together, we will reach out to you and reserve your spot at a place like the BU Pub or the BU Club. Graduate Student instructors are also welcome to sign up for this program during the semester they are teaching.
