Bennett College Faculty Accepted Into the FRN Network Summer Program

Four Bennett College faculty members have been accepted into the FRN (Faculty Resource Network) Network Summer Program for 2023. The program, held in-person at New York University in New York City (Manhattan campus), is one of the largest and most successful faculty development programs in the nation. Every summer since 1990, more than 200 faculty members from the Faculty Resource Network and affiliated institutions converge on NYU’s Washington Square campus for one of 10 to 12 intensive seminar offerings that enhance and revitalize their teaching and scholarship.

This year’s seminars include: 

• Do No Harm: Health, Disease, and Society from Antiquity to Today

• Representing Race & Immigration in the Popular Imagination
