As the academic year wraps up, we know faculty are looking forward to a well-deserved summer break. Thank you for all the ways you supported our students this year! We hope your summer is restful and restorative.
If your summer plans include taking advantage of opportunities for advancing professional growth or teaching practice, the Office of Teaching and Learning is offering several short courses and institutes—many of which carry a stipend to honor the additional work.
Course Design Institute
Will you be designing a new course or making major changes to an existing course next year? The summer Course Design Institute, offered August 14–18, supports faculty in designing learning experiences that result in significant learning—that is, learning with the potential to change student lives in lasting and important ways.
