Off-Campus Professional Development

The Teaching Center provides instructors with professional development funding to attend off-campus conferences and workshops on higher education pedagogy and the scholarship of teaching and learning. The purpose of the grant is to provide access to intensive and specialized professional development opportunities beyond the foundational programming available through the Teaching Center.

Instructors are eligible if they have already participated in Teaching Center programming and teach courses primarily enrolling students in the School of Arts & Sciences or the Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences.  

Eligible off-campus professional development should be focused on teaching. In general, academic disciplinary conferences with a small element focused on teaching are not eligible.

Grant requests are reviewed on a rolling basis until funds are depleted.  To apply, contact the Teaching Center.
