Details

Join us as CWRU faculty colleagues present and celebrate the creativity and impact of teaching and learning projects that advanced student learning during the 2025-26 academic year. Faculty and staff participants will hear from UCITE Nord Grant winners, our faculty cohort of Glennan Fellows, and Course Innovation Grant (UCIG) recipients through lightning talks, interactive panels, and a gallery walk of project posters. Colleagues will share how they transformed student learning through innovative, research-informed approaches. Come be inspired by our colleagues’ work and celebrate a shared commitment to teaching excellence at CWRU!

We will also welcome special guest speaker Kevin Gannon, author of "Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto", who will give a keynote address during lunch and will lead a hands-on workshop for teaching faculty and postdocs/doctoral students considering teaching careers in higher education.

Teaching Forward is set up in conference style, so register for every event or just one, depending on your schedule!
Food Provided (Sandwiches and salads from Stone Oven Bakery)
