We envision a university community where scholarly teaching leads to transformative learning. Our mission is to serve the university community through a commitment to exceptional teaching and learning.

Internationalizing the Curriculum and Campus

The third annual Internationalizing the Curriculum and Campus Conference is free and open to all University of Minnesota staff and faculty. The tentative schedule, poster titles, and presentation topics are available on the conference website. Registration is encouraged.

This conference is organized by the Global Programs and Strategy Alliance in partnership with the Center for Teaching and Learning, Instructional Development Services (UMD), International Education Office (UMD), Office of Information Technology, and University Libraries.

Diversity in the Curriculum: Transforming Your Syllabus

Have you wanted to change aspects of your course to better reflect changes in your field and scholarship addressing diverse communities? The Office for Equity and Diversity (OED) and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) invite faculty to engage in a hands-on, two-part workshop where participants can revise syllabi or specific segments of courses to include more consideration of diversity and make courses more attractive to diverse students on our campus.
