Introduction
Did you know that CU Boulder has more than 400听faculty who specialize in teaching and clinical education? We recognize these faculty members' vital role in enabling our campus to address its academic mission. In 2022, the Office of Faculty Affairs hired its听first Faculty Fellow focused on teaching and clinical faculty development to design programming that supports early-, mid-, and late-career teaching and clinical professors through the unique challenges that characterize their careers.
We host workshops throughout the academic year to help teaching and clinical faculty build more robust networks and ensure their inclusion in the greater CU Boulder community. These sessions are not recorded to create a comfortable environment for听open, candid discussions and engagement.听Workshop topics include:

Community听of Practice for Teaching and Clinical Faculty
Are you looking for ways to create stronger connections with other teaching and clinical faculty? In听Spring 2023, the Office of Faculty Affairs introduced听an opportunity to build a community of practice (CoP) for you. Communities of practice are "groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly."* CoPs provide a chance to socialize, but they are also a place for individuals with a shared identity to support each other, exchange information, and strengthen cross-campus relationships. The teaching and clinical faculty CoP will be a mix of online and in-person events.
For questions听about teaching and clinical track faculty opportunities, please contact听Lev Szentkir谩lyi,听Faculty Fellow for Teaching and Clinical Faculty Development.
