Killam Library, Room 2600 (LINC/Collider)
(opens in new tab)

Join us for a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) retreat designed to help you move your project forward in a supportive and collaborative environment. Whether you're just getting started or deep into your writing, this retreat offers structured time for reflection, goal setting, focused work, and peer feedback. Connect with fellow educators, share your progress, and leave with renewed momentum and clear next steps. Come ready to reflect, write, analyze... and make progress on your SoTL journey!

Light snacks and coffee will be provided.

There will be an hour break for lunch. On top of that, most of the day will be spent working, so anyone can come and go as they please/need.
