The Campus Learning Community (CLC) and Symposium -- which stem from the past Faculty Learning Community efforts at Padrón Campus as well as major events at North Campus -- welcome participants from all campuses, disciplines and backgrounds via online activities and engagements. Earth Ethics Institute (EEI) and the Institute for Civic Engagement & Democracy (iCED) have organized and supported this transdisciplinary effort with the help of Learning Resources, Media Services and the CLC Committee at Padrón Campus, as part of Changemaking at Miami Dade College (MDC).
Participating faculty members help to identify a topic or theme to explore and integrate into their classes, fostering curriculum development (including Project-Based Learning) and supporting academic achievement. CLC events and activities take place throughout each semester but culminate with a week-long Symposium that can feature presentations by students, faculty and community partners, film screenings and discussions, and other activities and creative outputs. Where a connection is possible, other Symposia, etc. at MDC are encouraged to consider and integrate the CLC theme.
The CLC theme for Academic Year 2020-21 is Goal 11. The theme for Academic Year 2019-20 was Goal 2, and Goal 16 was the theme during the Spring Semester of Academic Year 2018-19.
We hope that you find this “LibGuide” to be a useful teaching and learning resource, archiving past CLC efforts as well as serving as a gateway to events and activities related to the current CLC theme.
Please join a Resilient Communities supported community film screening:
