The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching is pleased to help support full-time tenure, teaching track and senior adjunct faculty members with the following opportunity:
The 2025 Teaching Professor Annual Conference is scheduled June 6 to 8, in Washington, D.C. Participants will have the opportunity to delve into pedagogy, share experiences with peers, and reengage your mind and teaching with new insights, new sights and new friends.
The Provost’s Office will cover the $799 registration fees, and faculty will need to cover travel and other expenses using a combination of support from the faculty member’s professional development funds, home department, college or other sources.
Upon return, participants will be asked to share new insights with the UMass Lowell community through a CELT workshop, contribution of materials to the CELT website, a lightning talk at the Faculty Symposium, or another format. Several of the faculty who attended last year offered CELT workshops this January based on some of their takeaways from the conference.
Fill out this online form to apply for funding. Applications must be received by Feb. 14. Faculty members who receive the funding will be notified of the decision by Feb. 14. Since funding is limited, final decisions will be based on the strength of your application and ensuring a balance of disciplines.
