The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning
sponsors some special events intended primarily for a faculty audience.
Faculty Retreat
The Faculty Retreat, sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the
Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning and the Office of Continuing Education is an annual one-day event about teaching
and learning. It features a keynote speaker, concurrent sessions by
Illinois faculty and poster sessions to highlight our faculty’s research
on teaching and learning.
Goals of the Retreat
The goals for the Annual Faculty Retreat are to build on our collective
knowledge, to share innovative ideas and approaches to enhance teaching
and learning, and to develop and promote partnerships within and beyond
the campus community.
The 2013 Annual Faculty Retreat was held on Friday, February 22, 2013 with plenary speaker, Allison Snow, professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at The Ohio State University and the founding Director of the OSU Undergraduate Research Office. The theme was “When Teaching and Learning Meet Undergraduate Research.”
