Focus of the Institute

ACPA's Fall Faculty Institute provides a professional development experience for college and university faculty members interested in an innovative approach to teaching and learning as well as graduate program administration. The institute curriculum is designed for application to higher education/student affairs and related graduate programs. However, faculty from other disciplines are welcome.

The 2025 Fall Faculty Institute will include:

  • A highly interactive curriculum focused on implementing innovative pedagogical practices;

  • Networking and resource-sharing opportunities for faculty;

  • Dedicated time to engage in collective dialogue with institute faculty and faculty colleagues about challenges impacting higher education/student affairs and related graduate programs; and

  • Discussions and reflections facilitated through small groups.

In addition to participating in the Fall Faculty Institute, the Faculty Institute planning team encourages attendees to participate in the virtual ACPA-ASHE Presidential Symposium on Friday, 26 September 2025, 12:00-4:00pm ET/9:00am-12:00pm PT.
