DESCRIPTION:Meets 3 times this semester (9/8\, 9/22 & 10/6) on Tuesday fro
 m 12:30-1:30pm in ZSR 664 (Faculty Commons Conference Room inside the Facu
 lty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing). We will provide the book for the fi
 rst 12 registrants. These discussions are very popular so we ask that you 
 register only if you are available to attend all sessions.\n\nDo Your stud
 ents (and colleagues) know they matter? We talk a lot about engagement\, m
 otivation\, and burnout\, but Wallace argues something more fundamental is
  often missing underneath all three: mattering\, the felt sense that we’
 re valued and have value to offer. In this research-grounded\, story-rich 
 book\, Wallace names the “erosion of mattering” driving today’s ment
 al and social health struggles and offers a practical path back: a “matt
 ering core” built on recognizing impact\, being appropriately relied on\
 , feeling prioritized\, and being genuinely known. For those of us in teac
 hing roles\, we can easily see how mattering is an important part of the w
 ork we do\, both with our students and each other. \n\nBring your own conn
 ections to discussion. Where do you see mattering (or its absence) showing
  up in your classroom\, your team\, or your own week? And what are things 
 we can do to rebuild it?\n\nMeeting Schedule:\n\n9/8: Introduction & Chapt
 ers 1-2 (Naming the Problem)9/22: Chapters 3-5 (Completing the Mattering C
 ore)10/6: Chapters 6-8 & Epilogue (Putting It Into Practice)

 know about effective teaching.\n\nDrawing on decades of experience in facu
 lty development and learning science\, Ludwig and Zakrajsek propose a thre
 e-stage progression model\, Adapt\, Create\, Embed\, to help faculty from 
 any discipline thoughtfully incorporate AI into their teaching. Rather tha
 n chasing the latest tech tools\, this book focuses on how AI can deepen s

 apter includes classroom-tested examples\, reflection prompts\, and activi
 ties ready for individual exploration or group discussion.\n\nWhether you
 ’re skeptical\, curious\, or cautiously optimistic\, this book offers a 
 clear\, practical path to using AI as a partner\, not a replacement\, in w
 ays that support students and reinvigorate teaching.\n\nMeeting Schedule\n

CATEGORIES:literary
DESCRIPTION:The Program in African American Studies will host a book talk 
 and public conversation with Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall. Dr.Guy-Sheftall is 
 a trailblazing Black feminist scholar\, whose passion for the many communi
 ties she encompasses is evident in her work and friendships she has built 
 over the last 55 years . She is the visionary architect of The Women’s R
 esearch and Resource Center at Spelman College\, the first for an HBCU. Si
 nce its founding in 1981\, she has served as the Anna Julia Cooper Profess
 or of Women’s Studies\, exposing her students and the broader public to 
 the intellectual contributions of Black feminists throughout history. \n\n
 At the age of sixteen\, Dr. Guy-Sheftall began her matriculation at Spelma
 n College where she majored in English and minored in secondary education.
  Upon graduating with honors\, she attended Wellesley College for a fifth 
 year of study. In 1968\, she began pursuing her Master’s Degree in Engli
 sh at Atlanta University. A year later Dr. Guy-Sheftall began teaching at 
 Alabama State University in the Department of English. But it was her retu
 rn to Spelman in 1971 that ignited her true mission— to disrupt the sile
 nces surrounding Black women’s interconnected experiences. Within the tr
 aditional confines of Spelman that had once educated her\, she has pushed 
 boundaries\, demanded space for Black feminist thought\, and laid the foun
 dation for future generations of radical scholarship.\n\nDr. Shanna Greene
  Benjamin\, Reynolds Professor of African American Studies at Wake Forest 
 University\, will lead the conversation with Dr. Sheftall.  A reception an
 d book signing will follow. Books will be available for purchase at the ev
 ent.

DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Billy Graham Library for Book Talks\, a monthly
  group conversation about one of the many good reads we offer in Ruth’s 
 Attic bookstore. Deepen your relationship with Christ and discover how to 
 share your faith with others as we dive into a specific title. When you RS
 VP\, you’ll receive a free copy of that month’s chosen book\, though f
 inishing it is not required to attend. Bookstore staff will help lead each
  discussion\, which will be held in Billy Kim Hall near the dairy bar. Spa
 ce is limited\, so sign up today. \n\nIn September\, we’ll be reading Sp
 iritual Warfare in the End Times by Ron Rhodes: \nUnderstand the battle be
 fore you enter it.  \n When you think about the end times\, you’ve proba
 bly already considered the rapture\, the tribulation\, and the Antichrist.
  But are you prepared for the spiritual warfare that is already escalating
  around us as we draw closer to the final days? Now more than ever\, it is
  essential to equip yourself with God’s truth so you can stand against t
 he encroaching darkness.  \nIn Spiritual Warfare in the End Times\, bestse
 lling prophecy author Ron Rhodes powerfully exposes Satan’s most destruc
 tive and effective tools of spiritual injury—and the means of rendering 
 them ineffective. Ron will help you understand…  \n• the identity\, ta
 ctics\, and dominion of Satan—and the spiritual armor God has given you 
 for protection  \n• the pivotal roles the Holy Spirit and the Word of Go
 d play in your spiritual victory  \n• the sheep (Christians) who keep cl
 ose to the Shepherd (Jesus) are safest from the predatory wolf (Satan) \nT
 hough Satan will always want to diminish your capacity to serve in God’s
  kingdom\, God promises you’ll never fight him alone.  Spiritual Warfare
  in the End Times  will provide you with all you need for victory both now
  and in the future.    \n\nReserve Your Spot.

DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Billy Graham Library for Book Talks\, a monthly
  group conversation about one of the many good reads we offer in Ruth’s 
 Attic bookstore. Deepen your relationship with Christ and discover how to 
 share your faith with others as we dive into a specific title. When you RS
 VP\, you’ll receive a free copy of that month’s chosen book\, though f
 inishing it is not required to attend. Bookstore staff will help lead each
  discussion\, which will be held in Billy Kim Hall near the dairy bar. Spa
 ce is limited\, so sign up today. \n\nIn September\, we’ll be reading Sp
 iritual Warfare in the End Times by Ron Rhodes: \nUnderstand the battle be
 fore you enter it.  \n When you think about the end times\, you’ve proba
 bly already considered the rapture\, the tribulation\, and the Antichrist.
  But are you prepared for the spiritual warfare that is already escalating
  around us as we draw closer to the final days? Now more than ever\, it is
  essential to equip yourself with God’s truth so you can stand against t
 he encroaching darkness.  \nIn Spiritual Warfare in the End Times\, bestse
 lling prophecy author Ron Rhodes powerfully exposes Satan’s most destruc
 tive and effective tools of spiritual injury—and the means of rendering 
 them ineffective. Ron will help you understand…  \n• the identity\, ta
 ctics\, and dominion of Satan—and the spiritual armor God has given you 
 for protection  \n• the pivotal roles the Holy Spirit and the Word of Go
 d play in your spiritual victory  \n• the sheep (Christians) who keep cl
 ose to the Shepherd (Jesus) are safest from the predatory wolf (Satan) \nT
 hough Satan will always want to diminish your capacity to serve in God’s
  kingdom\, God promises you’ll never fight him alone.  Spiritual Warfare
  in the End Times  will provide you with all you need for victory both now
  and in the future.    \n\nReserve Your Spot.

 , feeling prioritized\, and being genuinely known. For those of us in teac
