The New York Times workshop will provide information on resources and programs available to UNC Charlotte faculty and will focus on ways faculty members can incorporate The New York Times into their classroom discussion. The Times can help faculty cover topics that have direct impact on the lives of students today - from social issues and new technology to the global economy and career opportunities. Most importantly, The Times can play a vital role in aiding students to think more critically, improve their global and social perspective and most importantly, give additional relevancy to what students are learning. Complimentary subscriptions can be provided to faculty who incorporate The Times into their syllabi.

Other benefits include:

• Faculty requiring The New York Times as part of their syllabi can receive a complimentary Monday - Friday subscription for the semester.
• Available to students and faculty; our education websites: www.nytimes.com/college and www.nytimes.com/learning are destinations where you will find unique subject search capabilities as well as curriculum guides, Times Topics, Issues in Depth and the Newsroom Navigator, which is used daily as a research tool for New York Times reporters and editors.
• Access to The New York Times Speakers Bureau which brings reporters, photojournalists, and others from the newspaper to campuses across the nation. There is a minimum copy requirement needed to participate in this program.
• Partnership with the Times on faculty workshops/luncheons, Times Talk forums, curriculum resources, and even sponsorship of campus student contests and activities.
