All Faculty Reading Day
FALL SPRING
The Teaching and Faculty Support Center hosts a campus-wide gathering of faculty for lunch and a special program on teaching related topics.
Winter Teaching Symposium
SPRING
The Teaching and Faculty Support Center hosts the Winter Teaching Symposium, a half-day event to start off the Spring semester. Beginning with breakfast and remarks by campus administrators, a topical program is offered and followed by a variety of faculty-lead breakout sessions.
Teaching Camp
SUMMER
The Teaching and Faculty Support Center hosts Teaching Camp where faculty spend time reflecting on teaching, engaging with other teachers, and jumpstarting the academic year. Camp is an informal 2-3 day opportunity to focus on one or more aspects of teaching in a relaxed, offsite venue. Applications are required, so watch your mailbox in the spring for details. Camp is usually offered in August.
Getting Credit for Attending Events
The University of Arkansas asked faculty to report their activity using Faculty Information Systems. Here is a short video on how to enter your event into the FIS program. If you are applying for the Faculty Commendation, you will need to submit those events by email.
