We are happy to share this month’s issue of Scholars & Co., highlighting the research and scholarly initiatives happening within the CTL this month.

With a large new cohort of applicants to the Teaching Innovation Fund this semester, it is clear that Humber faculty are as engaged as ever at excelling in their craft. As noted on page two of this month’s issue, faculty apply to the fund not only to answer a burning question they have about teaching and learning, but it is also about enhancing their own instructional practice. Such an invigorating process to be a part of!

We'd also like to share a friendly reminder about the Call for Proposals for the Special Issue of JIPE on “Innovation in Sustainable Solutions”.  Expressions of Interest (250-500 words) are due by March 1. Please share widely within your networks. Humber is a leader in Sustainability; this special issue serves as a wonderful opportunity to share our stories! Visit jipe.ca for more information.
