Caveat: Sponsored faculty members are asked to share with the 棉花糖直播 teaching community a conference take-away, that is to demonstrate a teaching practice that supports student learning as part of a VITAL event, e.g., Teaching and Learning Strategies Program in May, Food for Thought lunch discussions.聽
