Faculty Development Cohorts
The Center for Educational Excellence’s faculty development cohorts can help enhance your teaching and contribute to your curriculum vitae. Each cohort includes an evidence-based study component and an opportunity for compensation. A call for applications is released each spring semester. The cohorts begin in May and conclude with a poster night the following April. Due to the time commitment of these programs, they are generally recommended only for full-time faculty.
Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL)
The Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL) is designed to guide faculty through the process of understanding and improving teaching practices through a scholarly inquiry of student learning.
SoTL is currently facilitated by Dr. Jim Gentry & Dr. Darrill Watson.
Engaged Scholars Academy (ESA)
The Engaged Scholars Academy (ESA) is designed to enrich learning through the integration of service-learning experiences and developing mutually-beneficial community partnerships.

Experiential Learning Faculty Cohort (ELFC)
