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 Winter 2026 term!
In 2024-2025, over 115 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!
Faculty Engagement Events
Faculty Engagement Events are co-created opportunities designed in partnership with faculty to foster meaningful student–faculty connections outside the classroom. Each semester, CSE offers two opportunities for faculty to collaborate with our team to design and deliver engaging, student-facing programs.

Twisted Trivia with the Profs
Date: February 24, 2026
Time: Late Afternoon - time is flexible upon faculty availability
Twisted Trivia with the Profs is a two-hour, structured engagement event designed to foster meaningful interaction between students and faculty through interactive, co-created activities. Faculty partners will work alongside the CSE Events team to co-design and facilitate engaging trivia-style activities, which may include faculty fun-fact matching, scenario-based case challenges, and rapid-speed networking experiences.
Art Across Civilizations: The Global Cultural Workshop
Date: March (flexibility in dates*)
Time: Late Afternoon - time is flexible upon faculty availability
Art Across Civilizations: The Global Cultural Workshop is a structured, hands-on engagement event that invites students to explore global cultures through creative practice. Faculty partners will work with the CSE Events team in advance of the event to coordinate and design an art-based activity that they will facilitate with a group of students. Suggested activities may include cultural art forms such as embroidery, ceramics, printmaking, or textile work; however, these examples are not exhaustive. Faculty are encouraged to bring forward their own artistic practices, disciplinary perspectives, or creative approaches to facilitate a meaningful and interactive experience with students.
*We are flexible with dates. If you have a preferred day of the week and/or time, we would be happy to work with you to find a mutually convenient option that supports faculty participation.
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.
