Adjunct Professional Day



21st Century Skills:

Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity


Welcome to the Second Annual Adjunct Professional Day!  This is a day to exchange ideas, share successes and discuss what we need to do to instill  the 4 Cs in students. 

The new UTRGV has a unique opportunity to be the first university designed for the 21st Century.  We as faculty have a unique opportunity to lead the way on new, creative curriculum and delivery methods.  We can ignore the boxed classroom walls and bust out beyond them.   

Date:  Saturday, August 23
Time:  9 am - 3:30 pm
Location: Sabel Hall 2.204


Sabel Hall is the classroom building next to the library on University Blvd.
