Learn more about the seminar and see descriptions of projects designed by past participants on the seminar’s main page. \nThe SoTL Seminar is open to advanced graduate students and postdocs at WashU. Interested graduate students and postdocs are highly encouraged to discuss their interest with a member of the Center for Teaching and Learning staff to ensure that the SoTL seminar will be the best fit for their needs. \nThe biweekly synchronous meetings will be on Thursdays\, 12-12:50pm starting on January 22nd\, 2026 and will continue throughout the Spring semester. \nPlease contact Rick Moore with any questions. \nRegistration for the Spring 2026 SoTL Seminar is now closed.
