TEACHING | LEARNING | RESEARCH

Conversations Supporting Student Success

WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 2023

Celebrate, presented by the WVU Teaching and Learning Commons (TLC), is an annual event providing an opportunity to showcase and celebrate teaching, learning, and research efforts and accomplishments. Presentations will focus on:

  • Enhancing your teaching;
  • Showcasing the latest instructional approaches and technologies (e.g., universal design/accessibility);
  • Promoting networking for research collaboration (especially as it relates to the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning);
  • Sharing examples of academic excellence (e.g., assessment, student success); and
  • Encouraging fun and energizing wellness activities.
