Greetings Miami Middletown Faculty,

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you had a resource readily available to assist you in providing enriching experiences for your students?

For example: Bringing an author in your field of study to campus to provide a couple of lectures to your classes?

or

If your class is discussing poverty issues, might your studentÕs learning be enhanced taking a trip to a homeless shelter?

While these are just a couple of examples, I work with all departments. It is my hope that I can partner with you to make co-curricular experiences a way of life at Miami Middletown and in your class rooms.

Co-curricular activities enhance student learning by engaging all the senses and allowing the student to experience a course topic first hand. These experiences can be as simple as showing the class a topic related video, to bringing in a published author in your discipline to sponsoring a field trip. The ideas are limitless and I can help you with the implementation and funding. To the right are a few activities sponsored in the past by this program to provide students a variety of experiences to help enhance their learning. My hope is that we will be able to work collectively to provide activities for your classes.
