CAD launches new learning community

This spring the Department of Child and Adolescent Development (CAD) launched the CAD Learning Community — an online space for students, staff and faculty to connect, build relationships, share resources and explore topics relevant within the field. Drawing on data collected from the department’s annual student survey, faculty, staff and students co-designed and co-facilitated a variety of interactive sessions. So far, they have led workshops focused on career exploration, strengthening resumes, preparing for graduate school, navigating the CAD major and a game-based coffee social. Students expressed appreciation for opportunities to convene in informal online spaces to meet their classmates, get to know faculty and share their experiences. Faculty enjoyed learning more about student goals, interests and passions within CAD and beyond.
