If you're anything like us, you probably have a long list of "to be read" books. We know that engaging in book discussions fosters a culture of curiosity and intellectual growth, reinforcing the idea that learning is a lifelong journey enriched by the exchange of ideas and insights with others. It is our hope that through thoughtful dialogue and shared reflections on relevant literature, educators not only enhance their own practices but also contribute to a dynamic community that benefits both their students and MSU broadly.

Goals for this program:


Cultivate a curiosity for continuous learning by engaging discussions of relevant teaching & learning publications
Enhance instructional practices and professional growth through the exchange of ideas and insights gained from shared reflections
Contribute to a collaborative community of educators that supports mutual development necessary to provide high-quality, evidence-based learning experiences across all modes of instruction.

 

Get creative with 3D printing in this hands-on beginner workshop at the MSU Libraries Hollander Makerspace—a space where all students can explore, design, and make.

 

You’ll learn how 3D printing works, design your own custom zipper pull using simple modeling tools in Tinkercad, and watch it print before your eyes. No experience needed—we’ll guide you step by step as you combine shapes to bring your design to life. Your custom zipper pull is yours to keep—use it to fix a broken zipper, personalize your gear, or show off your new tech skills!


Attendees will need to arrive with or be willing to make a free Tinkercad account with a valid email address.
