Abstract

The SoTL group has been a great educational, professional development and inspirational tool for my career. It has showed me how interdisciplinary SoTL is. Our small group covers a large breadth from agriculture, education to intercultural development all with direct applications to SoTL. I have grown and learned from this community as a “junior” faculty member working with senior faculty. The importance of prioritizing, valuing and implementing SoTL for UW and it’s success as a land grant university is essential. UW should continue to pursue and strengthen SoTL to grow the foundation of teaching as research while improving UW for both students and faculty
