The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is now accepting applications
from full-time and adjunct faculty to participate in the 2005 Summer
Faculty Leadership Institute.  This year the Summer Institute will bring
a group of 40 worldwide faculty together to engage in an intensive

The Institute will be held Monday, August 1 through Thursday, August 4,
