We invite faculty, administrators, staff, postdoctoral researchers, and
graduate students across the UT System to join our monthly webinar series. This
series explores the enduring value of the core curriculum, and the foundational
scholarly skills students gain through it. Sessions will highlight how the core
curriculum fosters cultural and social capital, analytical thinking, global
citizenship, and interdisciplinary awareness—skills that prepare graduates to
adapt and thrive in an ever-changing workplace and society. Faculty-led
conversations will also showcase innovative practices in student partnership,
productive struggle in the age of AI, and new ways of making learning visible
and durable. Together, these sessions affirm the power of higher education to
future-proof our students while deepening the impact of teaching and learning.
Each session will be organized by the respective Center for Teaching and
Learning, or its equivalent, on participating campuses, providing a platform
for sharing insights, strategies, and innovations.
