Day 1: Changing Cultures

This symposium shines a light on participating faculty as educators, researchers, and leaders at Marquette. Stemming from a deep desire of participating faculty in several Communities of Practice hosted through the Center for Teaching and Learning since Spring 2023 and reflective of a variety of desires across campus, this event honors great work being done by these faculty who teach Marquette’s students, produce valuable scholarship, contribute to student success, and lead a host of initiatives across the university. All sessions are organized, hosted, and facilitated by participating faculty across campus, inviting non-participating faculty as guests in some sessions as well.

By the end of the symposium, conference attendees and participants should:  

1. Learn and discuss what participating faculty members’ collaborative teaching, research, and leadership looks like across campus;  
2. Connect with each other to cultivate community, network, get new ideas, and contribute to our teaching and research communities;  
3. Celebrate successes in teaching among all symposium participants, sharing tips and tricks for success;  
4. Elevate awareness about resources available to participating faculty to support them in their teaching, research, and leadership desires.

All faculty, staff, and graduate students should come! Participating (part- and full-time), tenure-stream faculty, teaching assistants, and staff in all units on campus are welcome to attend. 

If you would like to participate by having your research/scholarship or teaching materials displayed throughout the conference, please stay tuned for a submission link with more details [coming soon]. If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to Melissa Shew. Thank you for your interest!

Note that symposium organizers understand that people have competing priorities, so please attend what you can and leave when you need to on both days. 

This symposium is organized by the Center for Teaching and Learning and receives support from the College of Nursing, Office of Faculty Affairs and the Student Success Initiative.
