Provost’s Seminars on Teaching at the University of Michigan

Provost’s Seminars on Teaching provide an opportunity for lively and substantive dialogue about a wide range of teaching and learning issues campus wide, across disciplinary boundaries. The invitation list for each Seminar includes faculty at all ranks and from all U-M schools and colleges, especially faculty who have special interest or expertise in the Seminar topic. The 100 faculty members who attend each Seminar are campus leaders in curricular and instructional innovation.

While the Provost’s Office selects the themes for the Provost’s Seminars, the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) is the primary organizer of the events. CRLT forms a faculty committee to plan each of the Seminars, and sometimes there is another unit that collaborates with CRLT in the Seminar design (as noted below). Read more »
