The university offers special workshops and discussions, such as Faculty Teaching and Learning Lunches, from time to time on topics related to, and supportive of, the professional development of its faculty. Faculty are invited to submit topics to the relevant dean’s office, who will be responsible for the organization of the events. In general, those topics that are conducive to the common good of Linfield faculty and students and cut across departmental boundaries will be favored in the selection of workshops and discussions.
