On Friday, November 1st, UConn Early College Experience hosted a professional development experience for all certified ECE Sociology teachers, in collaboration with Dr. Ingrid Semaan, our ECE Faculty Coordinator for Sociology. Instructors connected virtually via Webex, and began the day with conversations surrounding their individual classroom experiences. The main event was a panel of three UConn faculty, who discussed their research in the realm of sociology.
Thanks to all who joined us for an enriching experience!
