Stearns Center resources and events are open to Mason faculty from all departments and programs, and at all types of faculty status, including adjunct faculty, term faculty, tenured and tenure-line faculty, administrative faculty, and staff or graduate students with instructional responsibilities (or aspirations!).

You may also reach out directly to a Stearns Center Liaison who is assigned to your college, school, or area. Liaisons can respond to individual requests; however, they will be particularly helpful resources in the context of teaching-and-learning projects that span multiple courses. Your liaison might attend a committee meeting, join your program’s brown-bag lunch series, facilitate a conversation during a department meeting, or provide consultation to leaders or administrators about course planning, faculty support, accreditation, or unit-based policies regarding teaching. Liaisons can also connect you to other Stearns Center staff who may be able to provide more in-depth information about a specific area of teaching and learning.
