JPK welcomed a new friend to their class this week. Welcome, Kennedy!



Our students may have the day off, but our faculty are hard at work today! Jay Roberts was back with us to continue our work on experiential education, this time with a focus on "facilitation." The bulk of the morning revolved around how we can work with students to ensure high-impact learning and retention. Jay used several interactive activities to illustrate key points to get us moving around and using our problem-solving skills!
