Community-Engaged Learning (CEL) and Research, Scholarship & Creative Inquiry Intensive (RSCI) Course Designations

Meeting

Join us as we transition from a Friday lunch to a Tuesday breakfast in our Teaching Tuesdays for USUE Faculty. At 10am on November 5th we will discuss the High-Impact Practices of course designations including CEL & RSCI. CEL designated courses include an aspect of community-engaged teaching or research that enriches the learning experience, teaches civic responsibility, and strengthens communities. Students who take these classes develop civic awareness and leadership skills, are able to practically apply their course materials and professional skills to address a community need, and engage in meaningful classroom reflection and discussion. The RSCI designation (course attribute) indicates that the course involves research-based learning and hands-on training in fundamental practices of original knowledge creation in a discipline. The designation can apply to all sections of a course or an individual section and specific instructor. Breakfast Generously Provided by AVP Doug Miller. Alumni Room, Jennifer Leavitt Student Center (JLSC).

13,000+ Years of Indigenous History in Eastern Utah

Lecture/Readings

Eastern Utah is well-known for the spectacular rock art found in places like Nine Mile Canyon and the Puebloan architecture of Bears Ears National Monument and other landscapes. But the stories of the indigenous people who have called this land home for millennia are also preserved in much less notable sites that reflect the ephemera of daily activities such as cooking a meal or making a tool. Join Dr. Tim Riley as he explores the material history of this landscape with a focus on how we can learn more about people from the objects they left behind and how we can visit these places today with minimal impact and maximal respect. 

Part of USU Eastern's "From the Book Cliffs to Blanding: A Panoramic View of Eastern Utah," come hear Eastern Prehistoric Museum Director Tim Riley talk about the first human inhabitants of Eastern Utah. 

6:00 pm - 7:00 pm | Utah State University Eastern Campus |
