We will meet every other week, starting August 2026. Meeting times, and place TBA. Lunch will be provided.

Learning Communities

LCs are small groups of faculty/instructors who come together regularly over the course of a year to discuss various aspects of their teaching, support each other, and/or work together to solve a shared pedagogical problem or question. Each LC will meet every other week at a time and date determined by the group.

First 5 Socials

Once a month (usually the last Thursday) CTL hosts a social evening for faculty in their first 5 years at the colleges. Check the calendar or join our mailing list for more details!

We have two types of sessions available before the start of the fall semester.  The CTL’s Pre-Semester workshop is where we offer some practical and pedagogically sound advice for new (or returning!) faculty, drawn from the Faculty Co-directors’ experience teaching here, and help new faculty get to know the CTL and connect with a community of fellow teachers. Drop-in hours where instructors can stop by to review syllabi, finalize canvas sites, make lesson plans for the first day, talk about AI, pick up the CTL book club book, etc.
