What are the August Faculty Workshops?
Every year prior to the beginning of the fall semester, the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE), in collaboration with partners around campus, hosts The August Faculty Workshops – a 3-day workshop series, demonstrating new and innovative approaches to classroom teaching, research, and more. This year’s workshop series features 43 sessions, two classroom A/V demonstration sessions, as well as two lunch plenaries.

Why Attend?
The August Faculty Workshops are specifically designed to help you get ready for the new academic year, with workshops on pedagogy, research software, inclusion and engagement in the classroom, the impact of Artificial Intelligence on teaching, sessions on Canvas, and more. It is also a great way to connect with other faculty members and staff colleagues before the start of the new academic year!
