Gate to Great Teaching

A journey through innovative ideas.

Details: Tuesday, August 18 from 10-1130 AM in the Sundown Room

Faculty Travel Grant Recipients will serve as presenters, sharing handouts, talking points, photos, conference highlights, and practical takeaways designed to support teaching and learning across SPC.

The session will include rotating table discussions, breakout conversations, and Q&A time. Presenters are also encouraged to host department-specific follow-up sessions for more discipline-focused ideas.
