Reflecting through Collage on your TA Position

Friday, November 22, 2024, 3:00-4:30pm, Otto Maass Chemistry Building, room 428

Feel like getting crafty?听

As the semester comes to an end, reflecting on your TA position is a powerful exercise as it both helps you recognize your successes, while also allowing you to pinpoint changes for the future. Collaging is a tool that facilitates reflection by providing a physical space to represent and interrogate your experiences. In this 1.5-hour workshop, we will discuss the history of collage as an art form and then create collages to reflect on your TA positions this past term.听

This Chem TAP workshop can count toward fulfilling your TA workload hours for training and professional development. If you've already fulfilled your hours, you are still welcome to attend and participate!听
