Faculty and staff participated in an educational session at the Buffalo Campus with a theme of “reaching students where they are.” The event, sponsored by a federal Title III grant, included a summary of learning communities assessment data, a student discussion panel and guest speaker Kenneth J. Takeuchi, Ph.D.

Dr. Takeuchi, a SUNY distinguished teaching professor at the University at Buffalo’s Department of Chemistry, spoke on “The Art of Lecturing: Information, Organization, Motivation, Learning.” The day concluded with an overview of the freshmen book selection, Step Out on Nothing, by Byron Pitts.
