Are you a faculty member at UTM? The Centre for Student Engagement (CSE) cordially invites you to participate in a variety of UTM student programming in the Summer 2022 term!
In 2020-2021, 116 faculty members participated in various initiatives and helped staff and students build and enrich the greater UTM community. This year, we are happy to repeat our successful past initiatives and welcome returning and new faculty members to participate!
Why Participate in Co-Curricular Student Activities?
We highly appreciate faculty contributions to our initiatives and recognize the work and time of every faculty participant. All instructors participating in CSE programming receive letters in support of the Progress Through the Ranks (PTR) process in April outlining their contributions to our programming. Learn more about the PTR process.
Fall 2024 Opportunities
Engaging Faculty Events (EFEs)
Engagement Faculty Events (EFEs) are a fantastic opportunity for faculty to connect with students in a more informal and interactive setting outside of the classroom. These events are designed to enhance student-faculty relationships, foster a sense of community, and encourage meaningful engagement. By participating in EFEs, faculty can help create a more connected UTM community, while also gaining valuable insights into student perspectives. We’re planning four exciting EFEs for the Fall Semester and would love for you to be a part of them.
No extensive physical activity is required. Faculty are asked to participate in the event as the students would.
