We

interdisciplinarity.
Here

4-6
p.m. - Faculty Assembly featuring the director of Thomas J. Watson Foundation’s
Fellowship program, Chris Kasabach. This interactive session provides faculty
with an opportunity to come together intellectually to consider the
fundamentals of our transforming university. The topic of Kasabach’s
provocation is "Technology - Interdisciplinarity in a Transforming
University." His talk will focus on the integration of technology into our
campuses, curriculum and lives, providing a provocative basis for discussions
that will be held at round tables comprised of small groups of faculty. The
groups will respond to the issues raised and discuss the role of technology as
it relates to education at UC, particularly how it might be leveraged for
greater interdisciplinarity. More details on the assembly are
available at http://www.uc.edu/facultyassembly.html,
including a list of short preparatory readings.
The
webcast of all these events will be shown beginning at 2 p.m. at the following
