The USC Upstate Library is excited to host its fall Faculty Research Series talk featuring Dr. Walter A. Lee, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Middle-Level Education in the College of Education, Human Performance, and Health. Dr. Lee will present Little Thing, Big Difference: Getting to the Core of Life-Changing Classrooms. The event will take place on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 6 p.m. in Tukey Theatre (USC Upstate Library), 150 Gramling Drive, Spartanburg, SC 29303.
Dr. Lee will discuss his research exploring the progressive classroom through the CARE framework and its implications on the journey of self-actualization. He asks you to imagine a classroom that invites students and teachers alike to show up in mind, body, and soul, seeing themselves beyond personal limitations.
No registration is required for this event, which is free and open to faculty, staff, students, and community members.
As summertime is an ideal time for vacations, travel serves as the theme of the latest USC Upstate Library book and materials display.
On view throughout summer 2023 will be a sampling of the library's book, DVD, and CD collections on cities and countries, at home and abroad. For the first six weeks, the display will focus on materials about places in the United States. Then later, the display will focus on cities and countries around the world. All items will be available for checkout from the library for personal viewing and reading.
We hope it will inspire you to travel and traverse, journey and jaunt, escape and explore, and visit and vacation to somewhere new and exciting this summer.
