The CTE’s Curiosity in Community: Reading Wahi Wah! by Jo Chrona will meet six (6) times in the fall 2025 semester to explore the ideas shared in the text by Jo Chrona, the 2025 CapU Teaching and Learning Symposium Keynote Speaker. Each meeting will offer participants multiple opportunities to be curious about Jo’s words, ideas, examples, and reflect on how this understanding can connect to their practice.

Participation will entail being present for each other through active listening, reflection and being open to growth.
