Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning

The Center for Teaching and Learning’s 4th Annual Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning will take place May 13-15, 2026.

The Summer Institute is a celebration of teaching and learning at RIT—a time for faculty to come together to share ideas, discuss challenges, and inspire one another across a wide range of teaching and learning topics.

Join your colleagues for three days of faculty-led sessions, workshops, and panels, plus a reception, raffle prizes, catered lunches, and complimentary coffee and tea throughout the day—all free for RIT faculty.

Sessions will be held in the Wallace Library and SHED. A detailed schedule and registration information will be shared in Spring—stay tuned!
