Exploring Teaching Careers at Teaching Intensive Universities with CIRTL Alumni
In this online panel, we’ll hear from CIRTL alumni who have pursued faculty careers at teaching-intensive colleges and universities. Our panelists teach in neurogenetics, sociology, criminology, and other STEM-related fields. They will discuss what their positions are like, how they became interested in teaching, how they transitioned into their current roles, how they balance teaching with other faculty responsibilities, and what professional growth can look like at teaching-intensive institutions.
Speakers
- Shaun Davis, Assistant Professor, Hollins University
- Alyssa LaBerge, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Criminology, University of Wisconsin–La Crosse

About CIRTL Programming
CIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order and to whatever extent supports their teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across our programming, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals. Within those goals, individual programs provide different opportunities for participants to develop and apply evidence-based teaching practices.
This event supports the following CIRTL learning goal:
- Goal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.
