If successful advice and life experiences of people in your field of interest are an interest to you, you should attend a Colloquium .Dr. Craig Nakashian, is the organizer behind the Colloquiums here at Texas A&M University Texarkana (TAMUT), and never fails to have a guest speaker present,and ready to educate the students of the University. Dr. Nakashian has three Colloquiums left for the fall semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next colloquium coming up on campus will be on November 1st, when Dr. Trisha Ray will be the presenter. Dr. Ray\u2019s expertise is in educational leadership, and she will be speaking on \u2018preparing for a career as a high achieving educator\u2019. Her main goal is to help those who want to go into education get the most out of it and be as effective as possible. The main take away people should get from this colloquium is how to get the most out of being an educator while also maintaining their desire to teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set to follow Dr. Ray on November 10th, will be Dr. Corrine Hinton, Associate professor of english at TAMUT. Dr. Hinton will touch on the subject of the rhetoric and communication around military veterans and military caregivers. Hintons Colloquium will tie in with Veterans Day and all will be opened to join the event, as with all the Colloquiums held at TAMUT. Hinton will also probably touch on her work with the Dole foundation, which is a nationwide support group for the aforementioned demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Final Colloquium of the Fall Semester will come on December 7th, when Dr. Ben Neuman, Professor of Biology and Chief Virologist of the Global Health Research Complex, closes with his annual virus lecture. Dr. Neuman has given his annual lecture on viruses dating back to December of 2018, 2 years before the infamous coronavirus was even a thought. It is likely Dr.Neuman will use Covid 19 as his main focal point again this year, and inform those in attendance on new variants and where we stand with the CDC and their guidelines in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr.Nakashian sets a goal to have around 5-8 Colloquiums per semester, and will allow anyone who has an idea and wants to share it to set a time and date to present one. He normally gets university faculty and staff who volunteer for the slots available, but wants to encourage the student body of TAMUT to fill those spots as well. The goal of the Colloquiums is not only to learn from the great minds of your peers and professors, but also a time to get out of your comfort zone, and expose you to intellectual inquiry in a way you normally would not go out of your way to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the Fall semester is pretty much set on the remaining colloquiums, the Spring semester is wide open with slots for the taking. Nakashian hopes for students to fill those spots, and plans to send a reminder out in mid November for people to set times and dates for presentations. Colloquiums are the setting, whether you have a doctorate or not, to own a room and present something you are an expert on to a non-hostile audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
