Members of the Active Learning Academy, a group open to all faculty who are interested in using active learning techniques, will share their unique approaches to instruction during interactive poster presentations. The Center for Teaching and Learning facilitates the Active Learning Academy.

Topics and presenters for this year’s expo are:

UNC Charlotte clinical nursing professor Kathleen Jordan is leading grant-funded research to aid medical professionals and social workers who examine and care for children who have been sexually abused.

Jordan, who is an active nurse practitioner, created the study, titled “Pediatric Sexual Abuse: An Interprofessional Approach to Optimizing Emergency Care.” The goal of the research is to improve not only emergency providers’ ability to identify sexual abuse in their pediatric patients but also their ability to treat these children.

Campus-wide elections for faculty governance positions are open through 5 p.m., Tuesday, April 18. Faculty members are encouraged to participate, as these positions “are vital to the continuing leadership we faculty members are privileged to exercise on our campus,” wrote Richard Leeman in an email sent to all faculty members.
