Faculty are invited to start or join a faculty interest group where faculty across disciplines meet at least once a month to explore a common interest and share concerns and best practices. Generally, groups meet monthly though they may meet more frequently if participants wish to. Meeting times are coordinated by the faculty facilitator, who tries to accommodate all interested faculty. If you would like to join a KCTL faculty interest group, or would like to propose a new one, please contact KCTL.

Faculty are welcome to join an interest group at any time. Meetings are posted on the KCTL website calendar, and KCTL sends weekly emails to all faculty listing events scheduled for the following week. Scheduling is also posted on a bulletin board maintained by KCTL in the faculty and staff dining room.
