Upcoming CITL Events

This is a 2-day event held for new faculty. It will be held on the following dates:

Monday, August 20th 8:30 am to 4:00 pm
Tuesday, August 21st 8:30 am to 5:30 pm

This event is an opportunity for you to meet some of your new colleagues, learn more about the teaching and research cultures at Lehigh, and discover what support and mentoring services are available to you on campus. Our main goal is to provide new faculty with helpful information (without overwhelming them) and to connect them with the people who are here to help them get started successfully. 

New faculty may wish to review the following documents in the Resources section of the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning website: a course design worksheet, a syllabus template, some guidance on syllabus development, resources on active learning and inclusive teaching, and other pedagogical resources.  Please also browse around on the  CITL website to get a sense of the kinds of programs and support we offer.

XSEDE, along with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center will be presenting a Hybrid Computing workshop.

This 4 day event will include MPI, OpenMP, OpenACC and accelerators and run June 4-7. This event will be presented using the Wide Area Classroom(WAC) training platform and will conclude with a special hybrid exercise contest that will challenge the students to apply their skills over the following 3 weeks and be awarded the Fifth Annual XSEDE Summer Boot Camp Championship Trophy. In addition, an XSEDE Badge will be available to those who complete the Challenge.
