TLC Late Summer Institute
The TLC will host a Late Summer Institute on August 22nd (in person) and August 25th (online). The Late Summer Institute is open to all students and faculty at the Graduate Center as we prepare courses for the Fall 2025 semester.
On Friday, August 22, in room 3317 at the Graduate Center, the TLC will organize a series of conversations from 10am–2pm. We are prepared to discuss syllabus construction, assignment design, educational technology, hybrid/online course design, classroom facilitation, grading, and more. Topics will be selected by attendees, and conversations will be facilitated by TLC staff.
On Monday, August 25, individual consultations with TLC staff will be available via Zoom from 10am–4pm. Sign up to receive feedback on syllabi, assignment design, discussion strategies, grading, or anything else.
