Professional Growth Opportunities

Summer Professional Growth Updates

The Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation is pleased to announce this call for applications for the newly established Elkins Fellowships for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning(SoTL). Up to 10 Elkins SoTL Fellowships of $1,000 each will be awarded for AY2023-24. Proposals are due to Dr. Zakiya Lee (zlee@usmd.edu) by 11:59 pm on Monday, May 22, 2023, for work to begin in the subsequent academic year.

It has been such a pleasure to talk with so many faculty during the CELTT’s Spring Teaching Talk Series: ChatGPT and AI. Our last session on May 10th from 12-1 pm will be hybrid! For those who want to meet in person, please join CELTT in BL027 , and those meeting online please register. Due to high demand interest on how to interact with ChatGPT and prompting, our last session will be dedicated to playing and interacting with various prompts in ChatGPT. However, if you are interested in how to create SoTL research around the use of AI and ChatGPT, please let us know and Jessica will be happy to meet with you.
