Colleague Clusters offer instructors a way to network and foster academic community. These are small groups of five to seven instructors who can serve as a support network for each other. Clusters share ideas, successes and resources with each other and communicate in a variety of ways, including face-to-face, GroupMe and hybrid options. Sign-up information will be available in June.
