Keeping up with the latest research in teaching and learning doesn’t have to be onerous! Join this monthly meeting to explore some of the newest scholarship in SoTL and connect with your colleagues as you consider possible applications to your own teaching context. Each month will feature a different disciplinary context and a different method of research, so you can pick and choose sessions that are most relevant to your work—or, come to them all to feel inspired by the diversity possible in teaching, learning, and scholarship. While the selected article will be shared with participants ahead of time, don’t worry if you don’t get around to reviewing it! Every session will start with a brief summary of the article and its findings before opening to group discussion about its applications.Session Dates & Topics:September 8 – SoTL in Health Sciences October 6 – SoTL in Fine Arts December 8 – SoTL in Professional StudiesDates: Sept. 8th, Oct. 6th, & Dec. 8th Time: 10:00am – 11:00am Location: ZoomRegistration & More Information

LUNCH-AND-LEARN EVENTBASELINE OF COMPLIANCE: THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT AND THE REHABILITATION ACT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLANDSeptember 26, 2025, marks the 52nd anniversary of the passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a landmark civil rights law introduced to promote greater opportunities for individuals with disabilities in service delivery and employment, which laid the groundwork for the introduction of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.Today, we honor this milestone while recognizing the work still ahead by inviting you to us on Monday, October 6, 2025, from 12:00PM-1:00PM, to learn about the methodology and framework for administering compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.One (1) of every four (4) adults in the United States has a visible or invisible disability, and 44% of adults with Intellectual Developmental Disability, ages 21-64, are in the labor force. Disability rights are civil rights, and now more than ever, public entities, such as the University of Rhode Island, must make efforts to meet compliance requirements that lead to greater access to programs, services, and activities.Participants are invited to submit questions in advance by emailing: equalopportunity-group@uri.edu.EVENT INFORMATIONRegistration Link: https://rhody.webex.com/weblink/register/rac4bb460607c9aa6d639902cba650b81Date: Monday, October 6, 2025, 12PM-1PMFormat: Lunch-and-Learn (Webex)Guest Speakers: -Jake Avakian, Business Analyst, Office of Equal Opportunity -Kara Larsen, Assistant Vice President, Enterprise Risk Management -Markeisha J.
