Thank you to all who joined us for the Spring Scholarship Summit last Friday! The Summit kicked off Friday afternoon in Meyer Library 107, and it was a very successful afternoon of tasty treats, academic community, and scholarship. For the hour and a half of the event’s runtime, dozens of faculty from all across campus attended the Summit to snack on delicious hors d’oeuvres, engage with fascinating presentations from this year’s inspiring speakers, and contribute to our campus’s vast and growing expertise on teaching and learning practices!
This year’s summit boasted thirteen presenters from three colleges and eight departments, providing a wide array of essential work across many disciplines and showing just how far our campus community’s passions reach. From library discovery processes and cultural competence research to teaching international children, impactful learning strategies across fields, and more, this event showed that our MSU faculty are making strides in all directions and areas of our academic community. An extra-special thank you to our presenters for sharing their hard work!
The FCTL looks forward to seeing you all next year for Spring Scholarship Summit 2026!
This fall, the FCTL will host the 40th annual Faculty Showcase on Teaching and Learning right before the start of the semester. The Showcase has an amazing lineup of presenters this year from departments and colleges all across campus, ready to share their knowledge, work, and research on a variety of topics under the umbrella of teaching and learning. With the official event program now decided, it’s time to get excited for our upcoming presentations!
Starting next week, the FCTL blog will be posting a Showcase Spotlight post every Wednesday introducing you to our amazing 2025 presenters and the topics they will be sharing about. The Showcase is first and foremost a place for faculty to share their ideas and collaborate in building the future of teaching and learning together, and this series will help you discover who you can expect to hear from, and what fascinating topics you can expect to hear about at the Showcase this fall.
