Teaching Excellence Symposium 2024 Presenters

This year’s Teaching Excellence Symposium highlights the dedication of the Cal Poly Humboldt community to teaching excellence, exploring the unknown, and preparing for what is yet to come. 

The CTL has worked closely with the campus community to explore how pedagogy and academic technology can improve and transform the student learning experience. We are honored to have collaborated with faculty to delve into their curiosities about course design, grading and assessment, curriculum alignment, technology, and artificial intelligence.

Join us on April 9 and see what is possible when together we navigate the possibilities for the future of teaching and learning for our students, campus, and community!
