Dr. Stephen Brookfield, UST Distinguished University Professor, will lead faculty development workshops on "Preparing Scholarly Book Proposals" in February and March at the St. Paul and Minneapolis campuses. The workshop will be offered twice on each campus.
The registration deadline for any of these courses is one week prior to the workshop. To register, e-mail Pat Alexander with your name, department and the date you wish to attend.
