MARCIA BAXTER MAGOLDA

Marcia Baxter Magolda's keynote presentation and interactive workshop on October October 15th, 2009 and October 16th 2009 was very well attended. Marcia Baxter Magolda's visit to Kent State University was both a very insightful event that lead to great discussion.

University colleagues got together to spend an evening with Marcia Baxter Magolda. They were engaged in considering implications of findings from her longitudinal (22-year) study of student learning and development.  Engaged learning, she finds, requires transformative learning at all levels of the academy. Below are some resources that were relevant to Marcia Baxter Magolda's visit including the KSU Engaged Learning blog which includes session information and work from the attendees themselves.
