Join the SoTL Reading Group!

SoTL Reading Group Organizational Meeting
Dear Colleagues,
The MRU SoTL reading group will be back for a second year.

The first organizational meeting will take place on December 12th 2017 at noon  in : EL 2462 (Riddell Library and Learning Centre). We will discuss the format and schedule of future discussions (to be held in 2018).

There will be treats!

Following from last year’s iteration of this initiative, these scholarly meetings are intended to bring together people interested or engaged in SoTL to talk about important contributions to the field. Some people might call this a “journal club”.

Please feel free to circulate this email and invite others. Please let me know if you never want to hear about this from me again!

Warmly,

Jon
