Scholarship in Education & Innovation Club
Join a welcoming community of colleagues — exchange ideas, find collaborators, and get feedback.
The Scholarship in Education & Innovation (ScEI) Club is a monthly virtual lunchtime session that aims to strengthen educational scholarship across CU by connecting collaborative minds, bridging theory and practice, and fostering innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration in health professions education.
Each session features a “Theory Corner” segment with a brief discussion of an educational theory, followed by one or more works in progress (WIPs) presentations, with time for questions and feedback. Educators from all disciplines and career stages are welcome to join and contribute.
