Recipients of the University Teaching Awards become Distinguished Fellows of the Searle Center. These inspiring, innovative educators heighten the visibility of interdisciplinary, campus-wide conversations about learning and teaching praxis.
Over 1,000 Northwestern instructors have taken part in this annual series of flexible-format, interactive sessions addressing wicked problems in higher education through a combination of pedagogical theory and practical strategies that can be applied to diverse disciplinary and teaching contexts.
We partner with STEM faculty on pedagogical innovations and guide departmental-/program-based curricular change projects to advance inclusive excellence in STEM with a focus on gateway, large enrollment, lab, and high attrition courses at Northwestern.
