Happy first day of classes! The second half of the academic year is here, and we wish you a smooth start to the spring semester.
As you prepare for the upcoming semester, keep in mind that CLAS Undergraduate Programs (CLAS UP) is here to support you, as well as students. Consider reminding yourself about how to support student mental health or how to handle situations where students are in distress.
Additionally, these resources on the use of artificial intelligence tools in teaching might be helpful as you finalize your spring semester syllabus.
Thank you for all you do and for being a part of CLAS.
