The University Teaching & Learning Center’s Course Design Institute is a “bootcamp” style program that guides faculty through the design of a new course or the re-design an existing one in a facilitated, supported environment. Participants experience the iterative, dynamic, and scholarly process of learning-focused course design and the benefits of active learning.
Do you use research strategies like text mining, social network analysis, data cleaning, or geocoding in your research? Do you have subject expertise in cataloging records, digital humanities, social media, or working with digital collections found in libraries, archives, or cultural heritage institutions? Are you curious about either?
In this two day hack-to-learn workshop, the Library of Congress, George Washington University, and George Mason University will join forces to demo research tools and provide data sets for hands-on exploration. You’ll walk away with exposure to a variety of tools and techniques, a community of support, and an idea of the possibilities of collections as data.
Scholarship on Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a growing area of research and discussion at top universities across the country, and we are excited to be joining their ranks through this inaugural effort. GW faculty interested in the systematic inquiry of teaching and learning are invited to present their classroom research, big or small, completed or in progress, at a SoTL Poster Session that will be part of the 2017 GW Teaching Day on September 28, 2017.
Held twice per semester on the George Washington University campus, the D.C. Working-Class History Seminar is a forum for discussing works of labor and working-class studies in progress. Before each meeting, the organizers pre-circulate two unpublished papers, 25-30 pages in length. The attendees, who are mostly graduate students and faculty, then discuss the papers with their authors.

With graduation approaching, it’s time to take hold of your career search.

Whether you are exploring a career, seeking out job information, scouting out networking opportunities, or preparing for an interview, we will help you identify some of the best places to get the information you need. This workshop will be held both in person (Gelman 300) and online via WebEx.
Discover the amazing possibilities of 3-D modeling in this introduction to Tinkercad, a free, browser-based CAD software. You will learn how to create 3-D models from scratch and import existing models to modify. Feel free to bring your own laptop or you can borrow a Chromebook at the workshop.This concise and hands-on introduction will last about 45 minutes. No RSVP is required.
Join the GWU Humanitarian Mapping Society, and the Missing Maps Project for a mapathon, helping to map areas where humanitarian organizations are trying to meet the needs of vulnerable populations.
Each year, disasters around the world kill nearly 100,000 and affect or displace 200 million people. Many of the places where these disasters occur are literally 'missing' from any map and first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. Missing Maps is an open, collaborative project who's goal is to map the most vulnerable places in the developing world, in order that international and local NGOs and individuals can use the maps and data to better respond to crises affecting the areas.
Mapping beings at 6pm, and training for newcomers will also be offered at this time. Food/drinks will be available mid-way through the event.
Arrive early to check in at the front desk of the library, and please make sure to bring your laptop to the event!
Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP) is a program designed to discuss GW's drinking culture and to foster a conversation with students about how to reduce their risks if they choose to consume alcohol. Please complete this form to reserve your seat. Contact prevention@gwu.edu with questions or for more information.
The Jenny McKean Moore Reading Series presents: Mishla Shubaly. Mishka Shubaly is a musician, memoirist, and marathoner who has written about his experience with "drink, drugs, disasters, desire, deception, and their aftermath," as well as recovering from addiction and his new life in sobriety. The author of several Kindle Singles bestsellers, his work has drawn comparisons to Charles Bukowski, and his new memoir "not only describes Shubaly’s two decades at the mercy of the bottle, but also his ultimate redemption via extreme long-distance running...[including] 50-60 mile all-terrain races," something he compares in terms of level of masochism to the addiction and alcoholism he left behind.
Please join us as the National Churchill Library and Center welcomes David Owen (Lord Owen) for a discussion of his new book, Cabinet's Finest Hour: The Hidden Agenda of May 1940. With keen insight, gained in part from having sat at the Cabinet table himself, Lord Owen examines the tense Cabinet meetings that followed Winston Churchill's appointment as Prime Minister, as he and his colleagues debated whether to negotiate with Hitler. Lord Owen will also discuss the current state of Brexit, and its potential impact on U.S.--U.K. relations.
