Faculty Learning Groups

Want to connect with colleagues and share resources, challenges, and successes in the classroom? Join us for the launch of two faculty learning groups this spring to learn by association with, from, and for one another! For the kickoff, we will discuss generative AI in the classroom and assessment strategies to promote engagement and motivate growth.

Each session will end with a survey where you can propose new faculty learning groups and session ideas.
