October 20, 2023, Online! REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO 300 ATTENDEES!!
UMass is excited to present a virtual Teaching at Teaching Intensive Institutions conference on October 20, 2023. Registration for all graduate students, postdocs, and recent graduate alumni is now OPEN! The day features two panels: the first features senior faculty and administrators talking about what defines a teaching intensive and what makes it special, while the second features early-career faculty who will share their experiences getting and starting their careers!
Intro to Teaching Intensive Institutions
Friday, October 20th - 12:00-1:15pm, online
Think all faculty careers are the same? Think again! Do you wonder what an average day looks like at an institution that values teaching more than research? In this panel, senior faculty and administrators representing community colleges, state universities, and liberal arts colleges will talk about how their institutions differ (students, mission, size, etc.), the work they do, and how this motivates their career choices in this space.

Teaching Intensive Institutions: Tips for the Early Years
Friday, October 20th - 1:30-2:30pm, online
After many years at a research-intensive institution, becoming a faculty member at an institution that values teaching over research can take some adjusting! In this session, community college and state university faculty will reflect on their job searches, transitioning to the teaching intensive environment, and tips that helped them survive and thrive in their first year.
please pre-register here.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT an event that you sign-up for and then DON'T attend! We are part of a select group of institutions who get invited to attend!!
