If you are an alumni of one or more of our teaching and learning programs (e.g., Institute for Teaching and Learning and Institute for Allied Health Educators), you acquired the skills of a master teacher. However, success in academia requires so much more than excelling as an educator. If you have administrative ambitions or you want to earn tenure, you need the Compass Program to bridge the academic achievement gap. From learning the finer points of writing grant applications to grasping the subtleties of mentor-protégé relationships, Compass will help you gain the skills necessary to succeed in higher education.
