Faculty Workshop: The Art of Science, The Art of Science Learning’s founder/director, Harvey Seifter
The Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship invites you to participate in a unique, hands-on workshop designed to expose you to how skills, processes, and experiences grounded in the arts (i.e., rapid prototyping, empathic listening iterative techniques grounded in ensemble rehearsal processes) can foster learning in non-artistic disciplines and domains. Used by more than 400 of America’s Fortune 500 companies, “arts-based learning” has emerged as a widely used approach to enhance creativity and accelerate innovation. The “Rehearsing Ideas” workshop is based on research funded by the NSF and offered by The Art of Science Learning’s founder/director, Harvey Seifter, who developed the world’s first arts-based STEM innovation curriculum. In his efforts to support arts-based learning, Harvey has also created a network of innovation incubators across the country. This event is sponsored by The Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship.
RSVP: by 3/8/19 to marlene.leekang@baruch.cuny.edu. Space is limited.
1:00-2:00 PM, Newman Library, Room 320a
Boost Your Scholarly Profile
The faculty of the Newman Library and CUNY’s Scholarly Communications Librarian, Megan Wacha, will be hosting a workshop designed to help you boost your scholarly profile online and extend the reach of your scholarly work. In this workshop, you will learn how to make your work more visible in search engines by adding it to CUNY Academic Works, the university’s institutional repository. You will also learn how to build an online profile in platforms like Google Scholar. Common questions about different social media networks – including the benefits of submitting to Academic Works instead of Academia.edu – will also be addressed. By the end of the workshop, you will know how to make your scholarship easier to find and your profile more visible to your peers as well as to publishers. This event is sponsored by the Newman Library. For more information on this event, click here.
