The exceptional research and scholarship at CHS showcase the dedication and expertise of our faculty, staff, and students in addressing critical health challenges. Our expertise spans a rich array of content areas from clinical and rehabilitation sciences to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and more. Our scholars are making meaningful contributions to improve lives.
As the Director of Scholarship, I am honored to support and enhance these efforts by fostering collaboration, advancing our scholarly profile, and providing resources and mentorship to ensure faculty success. Our team is here to connect scholars, spark innovation, and create a supportive environment for impactful research from project design to dissemination. Please explore our resources and reach out with any questions or ideas—we look forward to supporting your success.
Sincerely,
Leslie Woltenberg
Director of Scholarship
The faculty learning community (FLC) will explore the possibilities and procedures of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), particularly for faculty participants who have been trained in and practice health sciences research methods. Envisioned as a two-part, two-year program, the FLC will meet once a month for 60-90 minutes. The first semester (Fall 2022) will focus on learning about SoTL from both interdisciplinary and health sciences perspectives (e.g., design considerations, methods, examples), after which participants may choose to continue for the remaining three semesters (Spring 2023 – Spring 2024) in designing, implementing, analyzing, and writing up a SoTL project either as individuals or in teams. Guest speakers with experience in SoTL will be brought in to the FLC meetings through the duration of the FLC.
