Join the Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center for an informal conversation about teaching with the September Cordes Chair, Molly Rapert. She will discuss strategies she has developed to create rapport with students, such as using in-class exercises, LinkedIn and social media to establish and solidify connections.

Friday, Sept. 9, from noon to 1 p.m.
Willard J. Walker Hall 403

Rapert is the director of the Walton Center for Teaching Effectiveness, a recipient of the Charles and Nadine Baum Excellence in Teaching Award, the Arkansas Alumni Outstanding Teaching Award and the Marketing Management Association's National Outstanding Teaching Award. She teaches the capstone course in the Marketing Department, which prepares students for the real-world environment they will soon walk into. Rapert has taught courses at all levels, from freshmen to doctoral seminars and of all class sizes, from large auditoriums to small seminars.    

The Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center invites six outstanding teaching faculty each academic year to serve as Wally Cordes Chairs. Faculty are selected as Cordes Chairs because they embody the student-centered teaching excellence that late University Professor Emeritus Wally Cordes exhibited throughout his 40-plus-year U of A career.

Pizza and soda will be served, and this event is co-hosted by the Walton Center for Teaching Effectiveness.
