Winter Institute 2025
The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (TLA) and the Center for Academic Technologies (CAT) have designed the Winter Institute 2025 programming to include a variety of topics through synchronous and asynchronous experiences on Zoom, on Canvas, and using online resources to help you recharge, reflect, and recalibrate for the Spring 2025 semester.
Winter Institute experiences and resources are available to all CSUMB faculty and staff. You can participate in as many of the seven tracks as you wish and are welcome to work alone, with a partner, or in a small group – your choice.
All participants need to submit the Winter Institute 2025 Reflection Form on or before Friday, January 31st to share how you will incorporate your learning into your Spring 2025 courses.
Winter Institute 2025 registration is closed.
