[FUN_Mail] FUN Final Friday returns with Storytelling!

[Amy Jo Stavnezer]

Hello all,
Welcome to the start of the 2023-24 academic year!  Your FUN Final Friday team hopes that you and your syllabi are mostly ready!  We have a full semester of FFF meetings planned for you and hope you can join us for as many as possible, and please, feel free to forward our emails to colleagues. We will continue to meet during the 4 pm (EDT) hour.

We heard your request to have more informal time to chat with FUN friends, so we will plan to open each session at 3:45 (EDT) and place participants in a breakout room just to visit until the presenters are ready to go at 4 pm – so, please, come early and chat with friends.  Thanks for this feedback received at the FUN conference at WWU last month, and thanks again to the hosts and Ed committee for a great meeting!  In addition, as a FUN member you can find all of last year’s recordings by clicking the link at the bottom of this FUN webpage<https://www.funfaculty.org/funfriday> and, after logging in, you will see the video links.

THIS MONTH
FFF on August 25, 2023, will consider ways to implement storytelling strategies within undergraduate STEM curricula.  Hosts David Donley (Harding) and Barbara Lom (Davidson) will share elements of storytelling that can be applied to class sessions, storytelling assignments, and resources for instructors seeking to use storytelling tactics to enhance their teaching and/or help students tell their own stories.  We hope that you will be able to join us on Friday 08.25.23 at 4:00 pm EDT (3:00 CDT, 2:00 MDT, 1:00 PDT) for the first FFF of the fall!
Register here<https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkc-ioqzMsHt2dXz19wcMre5pUjYFrIt2k> for the August conversation.
