The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) along with Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), as part of Health Promoting University (HPU@OSU<\/a>), welcomes applications for a yearlong faculty learning community: Supporting Student Wellbeing in the Classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This learning community will provide a collaborative space to learn alongside pedagogical specialists, mental health experts, and teaching colleagues from across the university. Participants will read and discuss scholarship on enhancing student wellbeing in the college classroom (Fall term), choose a strategy to pilot and get feedback on in class (Winter), and showcase a teaching artifact or experience with the broader OSU teaching community (Spring).
