CFETI Workshops

The Faculty Lab

null

Discover | Discuss | Implement

The Faculty Lab invites faculty to engage in purposeful explorations of issues related to teaching and learning, research and scholarship, and professional growth. Join your colleagues for short 15-30 minute learning bursts, 45 minute sessions and 60 minute deep dives that allow you to discover and discuss (new) ideas, get best-practice advice, and tips for implementation. Depending on the presenter’s preference these sessions may take place in person, fully online, or in a hybrid format.
