The goal of the Converting Your Teaching Into Scholarship Series (Spring/Summer/Fall 2026) is to create a community of practice at Jacobs around publishing teaching scholarship. In each session, we will focus on the different steps necessary to convert teaching activities into publishable scholarship.
72 faculty, staff, students and community members came together to discuss how to support mutually beneficial university-community partnerships that promote student learning. The event was co-sponsored by the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences' Office of Faculty Affairs and UB’s Office of Inclusive Excellence, with support from the School of Public Health and Health Professions and Office of Student Engagement.
The October 30 community event featured hands-on STEM activities.
