West Virginia University’s inaugural Research Week (April 1-5) is more than a showcase of the work done at the state’s only R1 Research Institute; it’s a celebration of the faculty and students across campus who pursue ground-breaking research in all disciplines.
Events
Join discussion leader Amy Cyphert, director of the ASPIRE Office and lecturer in the College of Law, in The Speculation Academy's second conversation of the spring 2019 semester on Thursday (March 28) at 4 p.m. in E. Moore Hall's Betty Boyd Lounge. Cyphert will discuss how universities should respond to sexual assault offenses under Title IX, whether punishment should focus on retribution or restoration and which model of justice would be best.
The two-hour session will begin with an hour of exploration of keys topics related to learning theory, followed by an hour-long segment during which facilitators will guide participants in applying concepts to their own practice. Participants can attend both hours or come only to the first hour. The first hour will be webcast. Hosted by the Teaching and Learning Commons, this workshop will take place April 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Room 104 of the Downtown Library. Lunch will be served.
