Faculty Events

The Center for Teaching Excellence sponsors some special events intended primarily for a faculty audience.

Faculty Retreat

The Faculty Retreat, sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Center for Teaching Excellence, 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.
