Campus Notices
UPEI faculty will “open” their classes to staff members from February 25–March 1, as part of “Open Class Week,” a new initiative that allows interested staff to sit in on a class and learn more about a topic. Employees will also gain a sense of what students experience when taking a UPEI course and what faculty experience when teaching one. Staff members are invited to visit the Google document for a full listing of courses available: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17sK95BhBxwtuWiXJ9EOe96VMIymdB2uGvSu… and to fill their name in one of the five available spaces for each course they are interested in. Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Course descriptions can be found through UPEI’s academic calendar: https://files.upei.ca/calendar.pdf Class attendance for staff members is free and no course preparation is required. The deadline to sign-up for course dates is Thursday, February 21. Employees will be sent an email by the Faculty Development Office to confirm their class, time, and location. While senior management has been notified and fully support “Open Class Week,” it is highly recommended that employees advise their supervisors to prevent any scheduling concerns in their departments. For further information, please contact Gerald Wandio at the Faculty Development Office at gwandio@upei.ca.
