The program allows professors to schedule a VOICE Center presentation for their classes. The program is perfect for professors who will be absent as they attend conferences and want their classes to meet during their absence. The VOICE Center can tailor the presentation to topics specific to each class such as climate change and interpersonal violence, trauma-informed care for medical professionals, or the presentation can focus on consent, bystander intervention, etc. Learn more about this opportunity from the VOICE Center.

MSU Library Open House - In-Person & Interactive Virtual ActivitiesJanuary 18, 2022 from 3-6 p.m The tradition continues. We look forward to gathering with MSU faculty, staff, graduate students, and Bozeman community members to enjoy food and beverages, listen to music, and explore the services offered by MSU Library and our partners. Our theme this year will be a bit different. In the past, we’ve chosen themes centered on classic works of literature, but for 2022, we will broadly celebrate the theme of reading. We've asked partners to select a book and we'll celebrate the joy and importance of reading in our personal, intellectual, and professional lives.
In this section, we are posting some short articles with practical teaching tips:
