Join the Office of STEM Education Excellence, in partnership with UTeach, for monthly lunchtime talks and workshops on timely topics in teaching and learning during the long semesters.
Each semester, STEMx partners with UTeach to host a series of lunchtime sessions featuring research, practical strategies, and peer-led insights. Faculty can explore fresh ideas, connect with colleagues, and leave with tools to apply in their own classrooms. Lunch is provided.
