The Celebrate Teaching Speaker Series brings faculty from across CapU together to learn from and inspire one another other while celebrating the teaching that happens every day on campus. In each session, a faculty member shares insights and reflections from their teaching practice, followed by food (when in-person) and collegial conversations. These events are opportunities to connect with colleagues across Faculties and to discuss current challenges and opportunities in teaching and learning.
