Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning

This annual symposium is a celebration of teaching and learning at RIT, and a time for faculty to come together to discuss and inspire each other on a variety of teaching and learning topics.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Center for Teaching and Learning’s 4th Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning.

This year’s Summer Institute brought RIT faculty and staff together for three days of presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities focused on teaching and learning. The event featured faculty-led sessions, student perspectives, the Provost’s Learning Innovation Grant (PLIG) Showcase, and opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the university.

Session materials, presentation slides, and conference resources are available for continued exploration and reflection.

We are grateful to our presenters, attendees, our D2L sponsors, and the CTL staff planning team for helping make this celebration of teaching and learning a success.

We look forward to welcoming you back for the 2027 Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning.
