Faculty Peer Mentoring Program
The purpose of the Faculty Peer Mentoring Program is to provide support and resources for tenure-track faculty through “cluster peer mentoring” and CTL-facilitated opportunities for professional and scholarly advancement in participants’ faculty roles.
The program is designed for tenure-track and tenured faculty in educational leadership and research streams. It is intended to supplement rather than replace existing informal and formal inter-departmental mentoring.
For information about this program, please contact Barbara Komlos (barbara.komlos@ubc.ca).
Dates: Formal activities will begin in September and conclude in early May. Register Now!
Teaching Development Program for New Faculty
The Teaching Development Program (TDP) for new faculty supports UBC Okanagan instructors in their professional development through a small cohort-based approach. It is designed for early-career faculty who teach credit courses, allowing them to grow and connect with other educators across disciplines in a facilitated, supportive, and accountable space.
The TDP curriculum consists of 45-50 hours of self-paced engagement through a multi-access, multiple means of engagement approach. Utilizing asynchronous components, participants will have the opportunity to self-direct their learning while having dedicated in-person opportunities for networking and community building.
📅 Dates: October 2026 – May 2027
