Distinguished Faculty Lecture: Biocurious: The Power of Curiosity in an Age of Assessment
Dr. Melissa Hardy, Associate Professor, Biology: “My lecture will focus on reigniting the natural curiosity of our students. We are here to help students earn their degree or certificate or credits, but we are also here to show them what makes our disciplines worthy of study and empower them to exercise their curiosity and agency. I believe we need to push back against the automation and regimentation of higher education by building meaningful and high-impact experiences into our curriculum. Empowering students with authentic research experiences and watching them react to the natural world with awe and excitement is the best thing I do at work. Topics in my lecture will range from parasitic worms and dung beetles to the student experience at SLCC to the state of higher education.”
