This summer, the Teaching and Learning Commons (TLC) is hosting the Summer of Learning, a series of mini-courses and workshops for students, faculty, staff and local K-12 educators. These workshops are intended to build community, nurture creativity, and offer low-key opportunities to learn something new. Workshop topics include AI, computer hacks, gardening, art-making, movement, and more! If you are interested in participating in the Summer of Learning gardening workshops with Scott Arboretum's Campus Engagement Coordinator, Sue MacQueen, please fill out the form below by Monday, June 1 at 5pm. There will be two workshops with different topics on July 11 and July 25 both from 2-4pm. Participants are welcome to attend both sessions or one.
