Faculty Quickstarts

Faculty Quickstarts are 1-hour monthly sessions held during the fall and spring semesters, designed to introduce faculty to key teaching resources and support services. While they’re especially helpful for new faculty adjusting to LSU, all faculty are welcome to attend. Each session focuses on a specific area of teaching support. These sessions offer a practical, no-frills way to stay informed and connected to campus tools that can enhance teaching and student success.
