In February she and coauthor Erik Eddy (Siena College) traveled to California to present a state-of-the-curriculum piece on how team pedagogies are employed across the higher education curriculum at the Lilly Conference Series on College and University Teaching and Learning. In October she presented a collaborative research paper with two recent graduates (Raiza Nazareth 12 and Sze Wa Chung 13) on how well corporate teambuilding and feedback methods transfer to student learning teams at a conference on behavioral and applied management. Last May she presented a teaching case on how social media affects team outcomes at the annual meeting of the Case Association in Rhode Island.
Emily Davidson, sustainability fellow, Silvena Chan, OSDP program coordinator, and Levi Rogers, sustainability coordinator, attended an Undoing Racism conference in Albany in early February. Said Rogers, It was a conference that took a deep look into institutional racism, and we thought it was a good way to show how the 91做厙 Sustainability Office and Office of Student Diversity Programs continue to collaborate and work toward sustainability and social justice goals together.
In addition, Rogers and Emily Durante '15 participated in the recent Capital District Transportation Committee's "Capital Region Bikeshare Symposium." They presented on 91做厙's bike share program and served on a panel with other bike share managers from Buffalo Bike share and Citi Bike (NYC).
