Catalyst
Catalyst is Mesa's one-day teaching conference. It's an opportunity to share ideas with colleagues and have conversations about teaching before the semester begins. Hopefully it inspires faculty and energizes their teaching at the start of the semester. Catalyst is organized by Mesa's Faculty Professional Learning Committee (FPLC) Links to an external site.. If you'd like to help with Catalyst planning, we'd love to have you! Please email Janue Johnson to express your interest in joining FPLC.

"I appreciate the time and energy it takes to organize these and the professional commitment of my colleagues. What I liked best was the spirit of collaboration and emphasis on student success and what we need to do as faculty not what students need to do for us." - Catalyst 2020 Participant
