Each semester, the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning hosts multiple semester-long interdisciplinary cohorts designed to help innovate or refine teaching techniques and learning activities. Cohorts typically meet four to six times per semester. Some cohorts may meet in person, while others may meet virtually. In all cases, the participants serve as a learning community for one another.

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Set against the upheaval of war, Anthony Doerr’s novel invites readers to reflect on perception, empathy, resilience, and the human consequences of technology and ideology. Through beautifully layered storytelling, the book explores how people make meaning in times of uncertainty and how small acts of attention, care, and courage can illuminate even the darkest circumstances. For university faculty, the novel offers rich opportunities to discuss ethics, communication, memory, human connection, and the role of education and imagination in shaping humane societies.
Our meetings will be weekly via MS Teams on Mondays, 3:00-4:30 pm, from September 14th through November 16th. The first 20 faculty members who register will receive the book free.
