CTL is celebrating two recent gatherings that made space to gather, learn, and go forth. In addition, we are so pleased to announce a new cohort of Provost's Teaching Fellows.

We hope your semester is going well so far. Yesterday, Director Molly Hatcher's "welcome back" message was sent to faculty. In that spirit, we look forward to "pausing" with you this semester in a variety of ways. This newsletter edition describes opportunities for all instructors as well as undergraduate and graduate students. Enjoy and contact us with any questions.
What better way to start a Friday morning than eating breakfast tacos, playing with spaghetti, and talking about teaching? In its first in-person iteration in three years, the 7th Annual Graduate Teaching Showcase did not disappoint.
The end of the spring semester is near. We are on the sidelines cheering you on as you get close to the finish line! In our May newsletter, we celebrate many milestones and achievements of our teaching and learning colleagues, as well as share out some resources and upcoming events available to you as the semester comes to a close.
Lessons learned from solving puzzles in escape rooms, teaching in community schools and prisons, and leading parties at zoos were just some of the stories shared at the 6th annual Graduate Teaching Showcase presented by the Center for Teaching and Learning in partnership with the Graduate School and UT Libraries.
March is the month we celebrate the contributions of graduate student instructors at the Graduate Teaching Showcase as well as a new cohort of Provost's Teaching Fellows. In addition, see below for experiential and blended learning opportunities this month. Finally, there are two grant programs that provide funds to support your instructional goals.
We continue to make progress on steps towards our name change: Center for Teaching and Learning! Stay tuned.
