Greg Siering
Greg joined the Searle Center in January 2026 as the Director of Pedagogy and Curricular Development. In this role, he supports the Searle Center’s work on promoting the use of meaningful assessment to improve student learning, and he helps programs redesign curricula based on assessment results and changing student needs. He is particularly interested in working with faculty and programs to identify new programmatic learning outcomes related to generative AI and integrating those outcomes into curricula.
Prior to coming to Northwestern, Greg served 15 years as the founding director of the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning at Indiana University Bloomington, where he focused his efforts on promoting evidence-informed practice, inclusive and equitable teaching, and instructor growth. As part of the center’s broad mandate around instructional support, his portfolio included the university writing center, the community-engaged learning program, and close connections with the campus instructional technology unit.
Greg earned a PhD in English with a focus on Composition and Rhetoric, and his teaching background includes 20 years of teaching first-year writing courses. With that teaching background and early career work in a university writing center, Greg brings to his Searle Center work a commitment to student voice and engagement, as well as attention to issues around the transition to college, including belonging, resilience, and retention.
