The Center for Transformative Teaching and its partners hold a variety of workshops and events ranging from those customized for specific colleges and departments to university-wide events such as the Fall Teaching and Learning Symposia.
We have changed how we manage registration. Beginning this fall, participants may register for all workshops of interest on a single page. To modify their registrations, participants use the link in their confirmation email. We believe this will make it easier for instructors to schedule, choose, and manage their registrations.
Recorded sessions from Spring 2026 are available on this archive page.
