The Graduate Teaching Assistant Summit is a mandatory, day-long orientation for UMSL graduate students serving as Teaching Assistants. The Summit provides practical training, teaching resources, and networking opportunities, with sessions designed for both new and returning GTAs in a variety of instructional roles, including grading, leading labs or discussion sections, and teaching courses.
Spring Forum on Teaching

It is designed to highlight some of the innovative and respected teaching happening here at our university and to bring in external parties that may inspire and help with educational projects.
