UNL is a member of the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) Network, which means that all UNL graduate students and postdocs have access to teaching training and resources through the CIRTL Network.
This includes MOOCs, workshops, and courses through the CIRTL website as well as workshops, learning communities, and other opportunities on campus. Students also have the opportunity to earn certifications that demonstrate their commitment to teaching that can be included on a CV.
Over the course of the summer, CIRTL will host a series of panels to discuss the value of CIRTL for preparing students for a variety of careers.
