Registration open for ‘learning community’ on design thinking; first event Sept. 27

In support of Design as an Immersive Vanderbilt Experience, the Center for Teaching is hosting a learning community for faculty, staff and students interested in teaching design thinking. Registration is open for all three events taking place at the Center for Teaching this fall, and lunch will be provided for attendees.

This learning community is specifically designed for faculty and staff working with students in curricular or co-curricular contexts as part of DIVE, but all members of the Vanderbilt community are welcome to participate.
