Please join us for the "Setting the Stage: The First Week Experience to Cultivate Student Belonging" workshop, hosted by the UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) and facilitated by Caroline Kong and Lisa Felipe.
It is never too early to create an inclusive and welcoming classroom environment that supports student success and fosters a sense of student belonging. This workshop equips instructors with practical strategies to build community and establish rapport— whether on the first day of class, the first week, or beyond. Instructors will learn activities to communicate classroom goals, establish course policies, and foster a supportive classroom culture. The event will be held on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, from 12 pm to 1 pm in Powell Library, room 186. All instructors are invited. Light refreshments will be served. Please feel free to bring your own lunch.
