TALE - Teaching and Learning Enhancement Center

TALE Book Chats

Each spring, T.A.L.E. sponsors a book chat for interested faculty members. A book is ordered for the first twenty-five faculty members who wish to participate. There are three separate groups which accommodate faculty members' teaching schedules. The members meet for an hour once per month (February-April) to discuss the book.
