Welcome to Back to the Bay 2021
BACK TO THE BAY 2021 (Virtual Version!)
Student-Centered Classrooms and Campus
Thursday, August 12, 2021
Back to the Bay, ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ's annual professional development event is sponsored by Academic Affairs, Office of Faculty Development, the Online Campus, and University Extension. Each year since 2003, Back to the Bay brings faculty and staff together to share their expertise, and learn from one another and campus experts about topics of interest to faculty in their roles as teachers, advisors, researchers, users of technology, and active participants in the campus community. Back to the Bay features a variety of workshops on pedagogy, research, governance, and teaching with technology usually held in Valley Business & Technology Center [VBT]). In August 2020, we hosted our first all virtual Back to the Bay, when over 298 people attended the Keynote Address. Back to the Bay is held each August on the Thursday before instruction begins.
