Teaching Excellence Symposium

Each year, we host a full day Teaching Excellence Symposium to bring faculty and our VCU partners together to share ideas, strategies, and scholarship on teaching and learning. This annual event honors pedagogical innovatives, contributing to our broader faculty learning community, and getting us all energized for next steps to support student learning and belonging.

The 2020 planned symposium was, of course, postponed due to campus shut down and COVID-19.
