Innovation Abstract
In "Team-Based Learning," Nicole Korzetz, Psychology Instructor, at Lee College (TX), describes a strategy for getting students more involved before and during class, successfully reducing the frequency of "bewildered" and "overwhelmed" looks resulting from little or no preparation for classroom participation. Students come more prepared and are better able to participate and contribute in individual and group class activities.

It's Not Easy Being Green: MHC Environment Week Challenge
How 'green' is your department? MHC's Environmental Stewardship Committee wants to find out which department is the friendliest to our environment. For the week of May 17, employees will be asked to keep track of their participation in a set of 'green' tasks. The department with the highest number of green points will win lunch for their department as well as a bragging rights and a special 'green' trophy that they may keep for one year. More details will be provided to the department admin assistants. It's not easy being green but it will be easy to find ways to help our workplace be environmentally friendly.
In addition to the departmental challenges, a number of 'green' companies will be displaying their wares at the college throughout the week. The City Volksmarch club will also host a walking tour of the campus on Tuesday, May 18 at noon. Come see the route of the proposed Campus Trail and learn some surprising things about the college campus.
