The Teaching Innovation Showcase is an annual event that brings together educators, researchers, and professionals from various disciplines to celebrate and explore innovative teaching practices. Hosted by the Grove Center, this showcase provides a platform for educators to share their cutting-edge approaches to teaching and learning. Every other year, we partner with the Penn State College of Engineering and the Leonhard Center. In 2024, we will be running the showcase just for our college in December, the week after finals. We will announce the date soon!
