About the 2003 Forum

Preparing the Future STEM Faculty

CIRTL Forums are national meetings on forefront topics in graduate-through-faculty development in teaching and learning. The first CIRTL Forum will be held November 5-6, 2003 in Madison, Wisconsin. This opening Forum seeks to define the present landscape of STEM graduate training in teaching and learning at research universities across the nation, and to build connections among these STEM graduate programs.

STEM doctoral degree recipients from roughly 100 research universities will become the faculty of more than 3000 undergraduate institutions in the United States. The goal of CIRTL is to promote the integration of superb research training with advanced skills in teaching and learning in the graduate programs of the nation’s research universities. Many such universities have already committed themselves to this goal.

Forum 2003 Program

Participants will have the opportunity to present their graduate professional development programs in teaching and learning and be included in the national status report that will be produced from the meeting. Through presentations, small group discussions, and informal interactions, participants will learn about existing programs and build connections that will support the advancement of all graduate professional development programs.
