It recognizes the interconnection and interdependence of multiple university voices to ensure that all of our students experience academic success. Our theme also speaks to trauma-informed pedagogy, meaningful relationships, and evidence-based teaching and learning practices.
Faculty College 2026’s guest facilitators are internationally known scholars Dr. Mays Imad (Connecticut College) and Dr. Bryan Dewsbury (Florida International University), both with disciplinary roots in STEM fields who apply pedagogical innovations to interdisciplinary spaces. Dr. Mays and Dr. Dewsbury will co-facilitate workshops that inspire reflection, discussion, and active implementation.
