Fall 2021 Faculty Learning Communities
Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) bring faculty together to foster a 1-2 semester-long conversation on a topic of mutual interest and encourage an application of knowledge gained. Benefits of joining an FLC, as reported by former participants, include building relationships and collaborative efforts with faculty from across the university, the pleasure of learning something just for you, the creation of a community that can support you, and the thrill of exploring something new and interesting. Don't take our word on it though, check out the video below in which former FLC participants discuss their experience.
Fall 2021 FLCs (listed below) are now open and accepting members. Visit our Current Faculty Learning Communities webpage for complete details. Some FLCs will be meeting in-person and others will be online/virtual. Apply online via our online grants system.
Interested in leading an FLC? Have a topic you are interested in exploring with others? Submit a proposal for an FLC by completing our FLC Letter of Intent.
Don't take our word for it. Watch this short video in which GVSU faculty are interviewed about the impact participating in a Pew FTLC Faculty Learning Community had on them. We couldn't ask for better ambassadors for this fantastic program!
