Faculty may stop by to seek assistance with applying UDL principles in their courses.

The goal of UDL is to remove barriers to learning.
Faculty who visit the drop-in hours may choose to focus on one of the following areas:
- Applying UDL principles to a syllabus
- Applying UDL principles to an assignment
- Applying UDL principles to a Canvas course
- Increasing the accessibility of electronic materials
- A self-directed UDL goal related to teaching and course delivery
UDL Drop-in Hours will be held in Scholes 218. If seeking assistance with a syllabus or assignment, please bring two paper copies. Please bring your laptop if seeking assistance with Canvas, digital accessibility, or another goal involving technology.

Episode 6, Annika Blake-Howland- Overview of Glass Cultural Heritage Conservation and Conservation Science: Historic and Modern Methods-Art conservation is the field of studying and preserving objects of cultural heritage for the future through art historical understanding, artistic practice, and scientific analysis. In Western Europe and North America cultural heritage conservation as a professional and scientific field is relatively young, and scientific advancement in the last sixty years has caused rapid evolution in the field. Within art conservation, glass objects are considered particularly challenging due to their unique chemical, physical, and especially optical properties. This talk will trace the development of current practices in the conservation of glass from both historic and scientific perspectives, including changes to methods and the development of new materials. Additionally, this talk will also touch upon art conservation as a modern professional field and connect to current work being undertaken to revitalize the Paul Vickers Gardner Glass Center here at Alfred University.
The Bergren Forum, sponsored by the Division of Human Studies and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, runs 12:15-1:10 on Thursdays in Nevins Theatre, Powell Campus Center and by zoom. Bring a brown bag lunch if you wish. Coffee and tea will be provided. For further information contact or a calendar invite with the zoom link, contact John D'[email protected]
