Minnesota State is seeking members for a two-year cohort within the Minnesota State REFLECT project (2026-2028). The project brings together faculty from across disciplines, institutions, and experience to participate in a 2-year Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) faculty learning community.
Minnesota State REFLECT scholars are supported as they develop, implement, and present research results at a conference. Minnesota State REFLECT focuses on SoTL specific to the context of a faculty member’s classroom and the relationship between their teaching and their student’s experiences and learning.
