12th Annual AGHE Teaching Institute - Higher Ed Curriculum Design Challenge: Intentional, Intergenerational, Interprofessional Design challenges, or hackathons, are highly interactive and allow participants to leverage teammates’ expertise to rapidly design a new product or solution to the focus issue, in this case the development of intergenerational curriculum. Participants will draw on their varied backgrounds and ideas to create engaging and effective lesson plans. In this Teaching Institute, panelists will explain the purpose and process of design challenges and walk attendees through a brief, team-based, interdisciplinary hackathon (design sprint) focused on the development of lesson plans for intergenerational projects. Representatives from all GSA member groups are encouraged to participate, as the greater the variety of perspectives represented on design challenge teams, the more powerful the outcomes. Participants will leave with knowledge and resources related to design thinking, process, and challenges; a series of intergenerational lesson plans; and a set of skills to implement both. Please join us for this fun, innovative, interactive workshop! |

Yoga with Meditation II Yoga with Meditation - Yoga is a Sanskrit word translated as “yoke” or “union.” To yoke means to draw together, to bind together; or to unite. Its aim is to yoke or create a union of the body, mind, soul, and universal consciousness. This process of uniting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves is what allows yogis to experience deep states of freedom, peace and self-realization. This class is designed to connect the breath, the body, and the mind. |
