CUNY Summer 2022 SoTL Fellows

In the summer of 2022, the CUNY Innovative Teaching Academy launched the first-ever CUNY-wide institute to support faculty from across campuses, disciplines, and ranks in developing a SoTL project for publication. From dozens of applicants, 15 faculty projects were selected. In June they participated in over 15 hours of intensive professional development, and in July-August they developed their projects. The 2022 SoTL Summer Institute was designed and facilitated by Dr. Laura Baecher, Hunter College/the Office of Undergraduate Studies and Policy (OUSAP) 2022 Leadership Fellow. Stay tuned for October 14th, 2022 when they present on their work at the first-annual SoTL@ CUNY mini-conference!
