The Faculty Lunch Talks series provides a behind-the-scenes look at the ongoing professional development of CCAD's faculty. In each session, two informal presentations by faculty about their recent or upcoming creative work, scholarship, or other professional development—specific projects, compelling experiences, or new ideas about teaching—are combined with a light lunch and community dialogue. All CCAD faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend.

The Faculty Lunch Talks occur every other Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Canzani Center Multipurpose room. A light lunch of soup, salad, rolls, and cookies will be provided. The series is presented by CCAD Faculty Council and Academic Affairs.
