The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Fellowship Program is designed to facilitate and incentivize innovation, scholarly activities, and research at the College, specifically in the classroom. SoTL research in institutions like Salt Lake Community College is especially valuable to higher education due to our focus on teaching and the diverse student population we have which helps improve teaching by developing innovative new techniques and practices. This year, the selection committee selected seven faculty members undertaking six projects. This program has seen many different areas of the College represented by recipients.
