'Engaging Students with Experiential Teaching Tools for the Humanities' TLC professional development event today

Submitted by Brian Niehoff

Heather McCrea, associate professor of history, will present "Engaging Students with Experiential Teaching Tools for the Humanities" from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, in 4061 College of Business Building.

She will demonstrate a few ways to integrate humanities-based simulations — or games — into the undergraduate classroom and discuss methods to help students develop historical characters and how to place those actors within a pivotal moment and reenact scenarios, including trials and congressional debates to deepen their understanding of the past and its ramifications on the present.

Register to attend today's event.
