Dear faculty members,
Faculty members continue to step up, create, engage and inspire despite these difficult times. The dedication to teaching and learning that we see daily demonstrates clearly that our faculty members are Proud to Teach. Thank you for all that you do.
The University is offering a range of workshops to support remote teaching and active participation is encouraged.
This partial list includes workshops being offered by Teaching and Learning Services, along with a summer discussion series called “Faculty Matters,” created by the Provost & Vice-Principal (Academic) Office.
