43rd Annual Faculty College 2023:
Teaching & Learning with a Social Justice Lens
THE OSTHOFF RESORT AT ELKHART LAKE, WI
MAY 30-JUNE 2, 2023
Faculty College 2023 is designed as a systemwide institute | retreat inspired by the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U), the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), and National Association of System Heads (NASH). Our System’s 13 universities are invited to attend Faculty College as teams engaged with their teaching & learning centers. Morning sessions are structured as plenary workshops followed by afternoon team discussions. Meals, after-dinner programs, and the evening fire near Elkhart Lake are opportunities for networking and connecting with systemwide colleagues. These in-between spaces have, in the past, generated innovative collaborative projects, such as co-edited books and multi-university communities of teaching & learning.
Faculty College continues to be the first meeting place for the Wisconsin Teaching Fellows & Scholars (WTFS), a year-long community of practice for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL). Faculty College’s programming on Teaching & Learning with a Social Justice Lens with guest scholar-facilitator Dr. Lisa Brock generated meaningful Equity-Minded SoTL projects for the 2022-23 WTFS. We have invited “Doc Brock” back to Faculty College 2023 because of her extraordinary ability to connect – to listen, reframe, and inspire. As a history scholar, world traveler, and academic leader for justice, Dr. Brock models what it means to be a “relationship-rich” educator.
