Academic Retreats
Arts & Science provides support for academic units to engage in short- and long-term planning via academic retreats.
Academic retreats provide dedicated time for collective discussion about topics such as:
- Graduate and undergraduate curricula and programs of study
- University of Toronto Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP) reviews or academic planning following a UTQAP review
- Current opportunities and challenges a unit faces, such as shifts in research, teaching interests or enrolment
- Reviewing programs’ strengths and new directions to pursue, such as faculty-wide initiatives in research-intensive teaching, experiential learning or First-Year Foundations
- Exploring ongoing or potential connections with other A&S units
- Faculty-member development and pedagogical exploration
Planning & Facilitation
Whether you are seeking support for day-of facilitation or the planning phase, we can help.
In your academic retreat support request, simply tell us a few details about the assistance you need. We will review to determine how best we can support you.
Funding
Departments, EDU:As, EDU:Bs and colleges may request up to $5,000 of matching funds once every three years to support the logistical costs of planning and running a retreat.
Funding will be transferred to units after the retreat has taken place and expenses have been submitted to the faculty.
