The Teaching Academy at Washington State University added 32 new members to its membership roster at its first induction ceremony since 2020.
“The organization is made up of educators from every college and campus who provide advocacy, expertise, and the resources to enable faculty to engage students in transformative learning experiences and achieve academic success,” said Kara Whitman, academy chair.
“New members infuse energy and ideas into the group and make valuable contributions to teaching and the scholarship of teaching across WSU.
“We are very pleased that so many talented and qualified educators applied for membership this year.”
