Graduate Students: Have you ever considered a career in higher education, including instructor positions at a community college? If so, please join us to learn more about academia in general and how to prepare to apply for college teaching positions.
The Center for Teaching Excellence, in association with the Office of the Provost and the School of Graduate Studies and Research, is pleased to offer a seminar series designed to provide an overview of college teaching for graduate students across all colleges and disciplines.
Based on initial interest, the goal is to expand the program beyond monthly meetings for a more in-depth, student-centered initiative to enhance understanding and competence in the major areas of faculty responsibility: teaching, advising, scholarship, and service.
Descriptions and a video of each session can be viewed by clicking on the appropriate links below.
