John Cannon, Physics, will present "Integrating Research into the Classroom."  Bridging the gap between scholarship and teaching is challenging.  Is there a model that combines both?  Cannon will discuss an upper level astronomy course where a major research component forms part of the curriculum.  In this course, students acquire and analyze scientific data; results have been disseminated at national conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.  The discussion should generate new ideas for course design that encourage faculty in diverse disciplines to undertake similar endeavors.  All faculty are welcome.  Lunch will be provided.
