Faculty Learning Community (FLC)

These communities are designed to build collaboration and fellowship amongst faculty from across the university. A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is focused on colleagues sharing expertise with each other to enhance knowledge and improve learning for students. Ideally, an FLC should be a cross-disciplinary faculty group of 6-15 members working together, beginning in January, to enhance teaching and learning.

WHAT IS A FACULTY LEARNING COMMUNITY?

An FLC is a cross disciplinary faculty group of 6-15 members engaging in a yearlong program to enhance teaching and learning. Their activities include frequent seminars and activities that provide learning, development, and community building. Participants typically engage in bi-weekly seminars and retreats and present results to the campus. FLCs increase faculty interest in teaching and provide an atmosphere which allows faculty to investigate new teaching methods.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Faculty, staff and graduate students are encouraged to apply to any of the Faculty Learning Communities.

WHAT’S INVOLVED?

Participants must commit to meeting on a regular basis with members of the group, typically twice a month. The days and times are pre-selected and participants must be able to participate for the full year.
