Call for Faculty College Cohorts

This year marks the 41st Faculty College and it will be nothing like the past. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Faculty College will be online with an abbreviated schedule: Monday, May 24, through Thursday, May 27.  Programming will focus on timely and relevant themes:  Equity-Minded Wellness and Pedagogy. Faculty at our 13 universities have made clear the need for professional development in equity-minded wellness and pedagogy, particularly as it enhances HIPs. Folded into this theme are effective practices in student-centered teaching and learning.

We are seeking two cohorts that will meet to discuss each theme:

  1. Equity-Minded Wellness on Monday, May 24 and Tuesday, May 25.
  2. Equity-minded Pedagogy on Wednesday, May 26 and Thursday, May 27.

Cohorts will participate in workshops from 9 a.m.–12 p.m., and then we will engage with their cohort either synchronously or asynchronously briefly in the afternoons to reflect on their learning and consider next steps.

If you are interested, please respond to this survey

Note anyone who attends Faculty College this year will still be able to apply to attend when it returns to an in-person format.
