Lasallian Higher Education Colloquy: Lasallian Pedagogy
The Lasallian Region of North America will host a higher education colloquy focused on Lasallian pedagogy in November 2023. Educators who have a variety of experiences with and understanding of Lasallian pedagogy are invited to apply. The colloquy will offer an opportunity to exchange ideas, insights and experiences of the transformative power of Lasallian education. Participants will be enriched both professionally and spiritually as they share resources, build and strengthen networks, and further advance the body of Lasallian thought and practice.
Carol Ann Gittens, Saint Mary’s College of California, and Michael Hahn, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, will facilitate the colloquy, supported by knowledgeable presenters.
The colloquy will start November 15 with an evening reception and conclude with dinner on November 17 at the Q Center in St. Charles, Illinois. It will be held in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the Huether Lasallian Conference. Colloquy participants will be invited to attend select Huether events.
