Student to Teacher: A Transformative Journey
Thursday, February 6 | 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. CT Online
The panel will consist of three former students who are now teachers in the IDS program: Kelly Cutler, Lindsay Adams, and Matt Grossman.
The panel will address questions that many students in the program have about topics like,
- What led to your transformation from student to teacher?
- What tips do you have for students who may want to TA or teach in the future?
- How do you stay up on trends and new skills in your field?
- How do teachers in the IDS program relate to each other?
The panel discussion will be moderated by members of the Student Leadership Council. Student participants will be able to ask questions of the panelists. We look forward to seeing you there!
This online event is open to IDS students and interested parties. Register via Zoom prior to the event.
Questions can be sent via email to idsstudentleadership@u.northwestern.edu
