Thoughtful Thursdays

Engage. Learn. Connect.

The Office of Assessment, Culture, and Education (ACE) within the Division of Access and Engagement continues to host Thoughtful Thursdays, a series revolving around inclusive excellence through intentional professional development. Sessions are held on the first and third Thursday of each month from 12:00 p.m. until 1:30 p.m.

The framework that guides these discussions include:
  • Access
  • Belonging 
  • Community 
  • Culture of Respect

Previous sessions include the following:

  • Free Speech on Campus (facilitated by the Office of General Counsel & the Baker Center)
  • Restoring Connections: Understanding NAGPRA and UT’s Role in Repatriation Efforts (facilitated by the Office of Repatriation & the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)
  • Understanding the Veteran Student Experience (facilitated by the Veterans Resource Center)
