Description:

The Academic Kickoff provides first-time TAs and grad student and postdoc instructors opportunities to learn about and explore institutional knowledge to prepare for the first day of classes! Participants are invited to attend a variety of interactive sessions throughout the day facilitated by campus partners and experienced graduate student instructors known as Kickoff Session Leaders. Each session is grounded in evidence-based practices and Northwestern’s Principles of Inclusive Teaching. Participants will also have plenty of opportunities to informally socialize during morning coffee, intentional breaks, and lunch.
