Goal 1:

Cultivate Connections Across Disciplines

The Transforming Learning Accelerator aims to expand the community of problem-solvers in education by creating new opportunities for faculty across disciplines to bring their creativity and expertise to the challenges of actual learners.

In 2020/2021, the Accelerator supported new faculty positions, created an affiliates program to broker relationships, and cultivated emerging expertise by engaging students in research and design projects. Bringing people together from different backgrounds and areas of experience and expertise also translated to those beyond the University. Through convenings, workshops, and courses, the Transforming Learning Accelerator began to extend its reach to share ideas and co-create solutions with stakeholders near and far.
