- May College
- May College offers an extended period of time for faculty to build upon teaching and learning issues addressed throughout the year by the CTL. In collaboration with other programs (e.g., FYP, CBL, IT) the CTL coordinates a series of workshops to explore new ideas, share experiences, and enjoy time spent together in earnest conversation about our profession.
- Faculty Workshops - Shop Talks
- The Shop Talk series offers a forum wherein faculty come together to discuss pedagogy and related classroom issues in workshops and informal discussions led by members of the faculty. Three to four sessions are scheduled throughout each semester.
- Pedagogy Travel
- The Center for Teaching and Learning offers up to $900 annually to full-time faculty members who wish to attend conferences that focus on the development of teaching skills. Each faculty member is eligible to attend one pedagogy conference per year.
- Grant Funds
- Full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty are eligible to apply for two different types of funding: Instructional Mini-grants and Teaching with Technology grants.
- Faculty Quiet Hours
- During the fall and spring semester final exam weeks, the CTL doors are open all day long to provide a comfortable and quiet space for faculty to grade student work. The coffee is always on!
