Teaching Cooperatives - Fall 2025
These faculty-led co-ops offer an opportunity to innovate pedagogy and other practices by exploring topics of shared interest with colleagues. They include many new topics related to emerging issues; allow for multi-semester discussion, application, and further research; and build and leverage faculty leadership and expertise.
The following is a schedule for the Fall 2025 teaching cooperatives, including Communities of Practice, Discussion Groups, and ULO Scholar meetings. We will update meeting dates and times as soon as the information is available.
