The C3/LADO visits to Columbia University, University of California–Berkeley, University of Chicago, and University of Michigan were initially designed by Dr. Josephine Moreno to cultivate interest in liberal arts colleges and to introduce liberal arts college teaching opportunities to underrepresented graduate students.
Attended by graduate students, as well as by LADO and university faculty and institutional leaders, these events provided a wealth of information about academic life at liberal arts colleges and the faculty job search process. Through shared meals, discipline-specific workshops, and drop-in Q&A sessions, attendees established personal connections and discover opportunities for collaboration.
