Teaching Squares provide an opportunity for groups of faculty (usually 3-4) to engage in mutual, non-evaluative peer observation. Faculty participants examine their own teaching in the context of new approaches observed and reflect on how the teaching positively affects student engagement.

This semester, the Faculty Hub will offer writing retreats, a spring writing challenge, writing accountability groups, and more! You can review the entire list of offerings in our writing support document. |

We also continue to offer Academic Writing Consultants. This service allows faculty to work with an expert on writing projects such as major articles, book proposals, book chapters, external grants, and external fellowships. Consulting is also available for faculty whose research involves writing scripts to conduct analysis and create visualizations. Feedback and guidance from writing coaches could be useful at the early stages of a project, at key moments in the writing process, and before submitting drafts for peer review. For more information, please visit the writing consultation information page.

How might we learn from these moments? Join us for a dialogue to explore these questions. Lunch is available to registrants.
