Description

Please join us for a 30-minute webinar with Dr. Gary Liguori, exploring how student-driven questions can prompt real behavior change.

When
📅 Wednesday, January 27, 2027 🕛 3:00-3:30 PM ET + optional 15 min Q&A

Why Attend 
Students already have the questions—this session shows how to put them to work. Using the FAQ-driven approach behind his own textbook, Dr. Liguori shares how turning student curiosity back on students themselves can move them from passive learners to active participants in their own health.

Session Description 
The focus of this webinar is to give course instructors tangible strategies that will help students take action on their lifestyle behaviors. Using the Questions and Answers textbook, Dr. Liguori will provide specific examples and ideas to present to students, prompting them to take action. The FAQ-driven textbook was originally created as a means for answering students' questions about their own health and well-being, and that same approach will be used in this webinar: using student-driven ideas to engage those very same students. There will be ample time for Q&A throughout the webinar.
