Join Us for the Teaching Transformation Institute (TTI)

Design. Experiment. Lead. 

TTI is a three-term, cohort experience where faculty explore new teaching approaches, redesign a meaningful part of a course, implement it, and share results with the campus community (for a certificate of completion). 

Or, attend what you have time for and let us inspire some new ideas!
