Opportunities

Faculty and Staff Development Opportunities

The Institute offers opportunities for faculty and staff from across the disciplines to connect under a shared mission of transforming and integrating the paradigms and pedagogies of liberal arts and the professions. Faculty and staff can make these connections through:

  • participating in reading groups, 
  • participating in lectures, seminars and events, 
  • applying for upcoming teaching and research fellowships,
  • attending professional development opportunities, and more.

Research and Scholarship Support

Collaborative Scholarly/Creative Project Mini-Seminars, 2024-25

See the showcase of these 2023-24 projects on Friday, Sept. 27, from 12:30-2 p.m. in Skutt 105. Lunch will be provided.
