This is a fully virtual event, and all guests will join online.

Making Teaching Public is designed to be a convenient opportunity for the community to explore NKU through interesting classes at various times. There will be 16 courses available for anyone to attend, including classes on French Canadian Literature, Media Aesthetics, General Chemistry, Hispanic Drama, Intro to Psychology, and many more.

“This event is a personal favorite of mine, as it allows NKU to showcase the great work of the faculty to the world,” NKU President Ashish Vaidya said. “Making our learning ‘public’ allows the community to experience what is at the heart of a college education. From students, parents, alumni and community members, Making Teaching Public allows for inspiring engagement.”
