In spring 2022, the University Committee on the Advancement of Teaching (UCAT) members adopted the following mission: The University Committee on the Advancement of Teaching (UCAT) promotes student learning across the campus by focusing on teaching excellence and pedagogical improvement and innovation. UCAT aligns its resources with opportunities for faculty that have the potential to impact students from multiple disciplines.
UCAT is comprised of an eight-member committee appointed by the Faculty Senate whose members serve three-year staggered terms.
Student Engagement Project Initiative
During the Spring 2023 Semester UCAT is offering funding to teams of faculty/staff to support student engagement projects. Faculty projects must include more than one course or be a single course that has multiple sections and multiple instructors. Staff projects must include representation beyond a single unit. Describe the specific student population or courses your project will target.
