I attended the March Campus-wide In-service presented by
Patrick McShane of MUSE. I had known
about MUSE primarily as a portal for students to explore involvement and
engagement opportunities on campus. This
was a helpful session in that I learned about other exciting ways students can
participate in MUSE.
First off, students (and ADVISORS !) can join MUSE to
receive emails about upcoming events and programs. Here are some of the options for engagement
through MUSE:
- MUSE Lunchtime Lectures: free lunch and faculty lecture relating to MUSE Theme Year
- MUSE Night Out: small group of students and faculty attend a campus event, and then go out for dinner and discussion
- MUSE Discussion Groups: these are student lead, and students are trained and paid to facilitate
- MUSE Internships: paid on campus internships with a strong learning component
As soon as I returned to my office, I joined MUSE . This will help me to be better informed about
events and activities that may interest the students I advise!
And finally, Patrick promised an exciting Theme Year, book
and keynote speaker for next year. We promised not to spill the beans, so
you’ll have to wait to learn more about this….
