Innovation in Teaching Series Presents: Thinking Past Campus with Owen Youngman

Event Schedule

• 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. - Lunch and community-building
• 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. - Presentation

Students describe Owen Youngman as “creating an incredible environment where you can't help but engage." Last year, he was one of the faculty members who taught in the Bay Area Immersion program to give students from our engineering and journalism programs opportunities to engage together at the intersection of design and media innovation. He also played a role in creating the Knight Lab, which offers both classes and extracurricular opportunities on campus here in Evanston for students to participate in shaping media through exploration and experimentation.

We are delighted that Owen Youngman will share his experiences and insight, including:

• His approach to teaching within (and outside of) the classroom
• Student impact from his programs.
• How taking these leaps has shaped his experience as a faculty member

Please join us on Monday, October 30 for the first Innovation In Teaching event of the 2017-2018 academic year. The series is just one of the many ways we are seeking to build a community of intellectual excitement and collaboration throughout Northwestern. Owen will surely offer much we can learn from. A recent Bay Area immersion student said "He taught me to love learning again, and I will never forget the feeling of excitement I had walking into his classes each day."

The event will be hosted at The Garage, Northwestern’s hub for student entrepreneurship and innovation, and is offered in partnership with the Office of the Provost and the Faculty Distance Learning Workgroup.

Important Details:

Lunch will be served at 12 noon. Attendees can mingle and participate in community-building from noon-12:30 p.m. The presentation will begin promptly at 12:30.
