TFSC Awards Rapport Badge to 25 New Faculty Members
The Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center is pleased to recognize 25 new faculty members with the Rapport Badge. In September, new faculty, defined as faculty within their first two years at the U of A, had the opportunity to participate in programming on campus offered by the center, submit a reflection and be recognized with an electronic badge.
The two programs that qualified for the badge were the new faculty luncheon event featuring Chris Estepp from the Department of Agricultural Education, Communications and Technology in the Bumpers College of Agricultural Food and Life Sciences and the Cordes Chair event featuring professor Molly Rapert of the Department of Marketing in the Sam M. Walton College of Business.
The Rapport Badge was designed to help increase connections between professors and students. Connections between faculty and students can help foster a sense of belonging to the U of A community for both faculty and students. It is also designed to provide recognition to new faculty who are committed to the development of their teaching skills early in their careers at the U of A. Faculty awarded the rapport badge were:
