Active Learning Initiative Postdoctoral Fellowship 2024 Department Grant Competition

The Provost's office, together with college Deans, invites departments to apply for grants that support a teaching postdoc to work with a team of faculty members who want to implement active learning in their courses. These grants provide a unique opportunity for faculty who are new to active learning and want to learn more or for those who want to expand upon initial efforts in implementing these teaching strategies. This Active Learning Initiative (ALI) competition is open to undergraduate and graduate departments across the university.

Creative Teaching Awards

Supported by the Vice Provost for Academic Innovation, the Creative Teaching Award will recognize creative classroom experiences and teaching implementations, with the goal of inspiring other instructors through the sharing of new ideas, methods, and strategies at Cornell.  This year's theme highlights creative approaches to assessing student learning.
