Teaching Excellence Program

The Teaching Excellence Program encourages faculty to attend conferences related to pedagogical development.  This may be a teaching conference or a pre-conference associated with a professional meeting. 

Faculty may apply for up to $1500 towards registration and travel costs. Recipients of a travel grant from TEP are asked to lead a round-table discussion and/or an interactive presentation about what they learned.

Please note: No more than two grant applications will be funded for the same conference.  All Lewis & Clark travel policies apply.

Below are a few examples of conferences faculty attended with travel grants from the Teaching Excellence Program:

-American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages

-American Studies Association Conference

-ASIANetwork Conference

-Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) STEM Leadership Institute, Association of American Colleges and Universities

-Modern Languages Association Conference

-Symposium on Spanish as a Heritage Language

TEP is no longer accepting applications for travel during the current fiscal year.  TEP will accept Travel Grant Applications for travel occurring after August 1, 2019.
