Looking to recharge your teaching and connect with colleagues who share your passion for student learning? The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) invites full-time tenure, teaching-track and adjunct faculty to apply for support to attend the 2026 Teaching Professor Conference in St. Louis (June 5-7, 2026). 

This nationally recognized conference is a dynamic space to explore innovative teaching practices, exchange ideas, and bring fresh energy back to your classroom and campus community.

The Provost’s Office will cover the $799 registration fee for selected participants. Faculty are asked to use their own professional development funds, departmental or college support to cover travel and lodging. Upon returning, participants will share their insights with the UML community through a CELT workshop, website contribution or presentation at the Faculty Symposium.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and inspire!

Fill out this online form to apply for funding. Applications must be received by Oct. 30.

Faculty members who receive the funding will be notified of the decision by Oct. 30. Since funding is limited, final decisions will be based on the strength of your application and ensuring a balance of disciplines.

For questions, please email Faculty_Success@uml.edu.
