The Coulter Faculty Commons (CFC) invites faculty and staff to submit proposals for the 2026 Summer Institute for Teaching & Learning.

Under the theme River Valleys to Mountain Peaks: Expanding Our Teaching Horizons, this year’s institute celebrates the many pathways of teaching and learning at WCU. Just as our region’s landscape invites exploration and growth, we welcome sessions that highlight effective practices, creative innovations, and thoughtful reflections that support student success.
