The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is now accepting submissions for its upcoming Annual Research Conference, Language Arts Conference, and Colloquium Series.

 

CLASS Colloquium Series

Scholars are invited to present to the University of Guam community through the 2016-17 Colloquium Series, sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. All disciplines are welcome.

Faculty members, students and community members wishing to bolster the research component of their portfolio or to “test-drive” a paper presentation before a home-town audience are especially encouraged to present in the colloquium series. Creative people are encouraged to consider workshop-style presentations. This year we especially invite presentations regarding the best practices for enhancing both the learning and the teaching experience in the classroom, laboratory or beyond the room.
