Community Building Activities

Teaching in Higher Ed

Maha Bali, Autumm Caines, and Mia Zamora share about community building activities on episode 349 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

It is not enough to tell students I want to listen to you. You have to build the trust so they will talk to you and be candid with you.
-Maha Bali

Community is more than just a gathering of people in a room. It is a sense of caring about one another and for something.
-Autumm Caines

It is something really powerful when we learn together in community.
-Autumm Caines

You can’t insist upon trust. It has to be something that emerges from moments.
-Mia Zamora
