New Year. New Opportunities. Explore the next steps for effective and inclusive teaching and learning at the First Annual UCR Teaching and Learning Week hosted by XCITE.

Join the XCITE Center for Teaching and Learning for a week of events on engaging with students and implementing innovative teaching techniques. Our first annual event’s theme is “Inclusive Pedagogy” to enhance inclusivity and equity.

This annual conference is FREE and open to any UCR faculty, instructor, or graduate student interested in improving their teaching skills.

Sessions include: 

• Keynote presentation by Dr. Estela Gavosto, UCR’s new Associate Vice-Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity.
