Overview

Are you looking to connect with fellow lecturers at Rutgers? Then we invite you to join the Lecturer Faculty Community, a supportive, interdisciplinary space to exchange ideas and discuss effective teaching practices!  Throughout each semester, there will be monthly gatherings for which you will be asked to submit topics of interest in advance. The dates and times for these gatherings are determined based on the members’ schedules.   

Whether seeking inspiration, new strategies, or a sense of community, you will find this space a valuable resource for professional growth.
