Additional Funding Opportunities
Present a Workshop
To grow our collective understanding about teaching and learning, we invite faculty to facilitate workshops or sessions on topics related to evidence-based teaching, classroom applications of learning or cognitive science, or assessment of student learning. Stipends are available for facilitators. If you would like to present a workshop, or have an idea for a workshop topic or presenter, email Akila Weerapana. See our workshops and events.
Attend a Conference, Workshop, or Training
Funds are available for faculty travel to conferences explicitly related to pedagogy, learning, or assessment. Elon College and Kennesaw State University maintain lists of upcoming teaching and learning conferences. After the conference, we request that you do one or both of the following:
- Share your learning with the Wellesley community through a workshop or post on our website
- Extend your learning by applying for funding to implement a strategy you learned at the event
Invite an Outside Speaker
If you would like to bring a speaker with expertise in teaching, learning, or assessment to benefit the college audience, we have funding available for travel and honoraria.
