Join us in fostering intellectual curiosity and cross-disciplinary conversation across campus.

As an FLC facilitator, you will:
- guide a small group through a semester-long exploration of a topic
- foster reflection, conversation, and peer learning
- support colleagues in connecting their teaching values to practice
Whether your focus is a pedagogical challenge, student support, or another area of faculty development, we welcome your ideas.
