Winter Institute 2025
The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (TLA) and the Center for Academic Technologies (CAT) have designed 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 as you wish and are welcome to work alone, with a partner, or in a small group – your choice.
All participants are to submit a brief reflection form by Friday, January 31st, to share how you will incorporate your learning into your Spring 2025 courses. You will receive an email with a link to the reflection form once you have experienced all of your chosen winter institute tracks.
Registration will open soon!
