Call for Proposals
We want to learn from your experience!
- A current academic research project is shedding new light on more effective ways to prepare students for careers in your field
- Your passion for beekeeping has taught you about group behavior and collaboration in the classroom
- Your previous career in management gave you critical skills for managing difficult conversations with students
- A genealogy hobby turned into a model for teaching primary-source research
Collectively, the wisdom we've gained in our lives is impressive, and this year's Faculty Colloquium is a chance to learn from one another!
Not sure if your idea will fill out a one-hour presentation? No problem! We are now offering two different presentation durations: a 30-minute short-form presentation and a traditional 60-minute presentation.
Note: In the spirit of this faculty-focused event, the Colloquium Committee welcomes full-time, adjunct and workforce instructors from higher-ed institutions to submit proposals. Deans, program managers and other administrative staff must present alongside a faculty lead.
