Faculty Development Programs

This monthly newsletter shares the latest news, events, and programming related to engaged teaching and learning in the Center for Engaged, Learning, Teaching & Scholarship and across Loyola University Chicago. You can sign up for the newsletter here.

CELTS offers a faculty certificate program for Loyola's faculty to build strategies in teaching experiential learning courses. Faculty will be encouraged to engage in five workshops and as a culminating project, faculty will share a course syllabus including the experiential learning course elements. Upon completion of the series, faculty participants will:

• earn a faculty development certificate in experiential learning
• be named a Community-Engaged Experiential Learning Scholar
• have priority access to Engaged Teaching and Learning Faculty Funding (per its availibility)
