Teaching with Joy is the theme for the fall 2025 Faculty Pop-Up Lounge. The Koehler Center supports faculty as you get ready for the upcoming fall semester. Join us at your convenience for a variety of come-and-go stations (no registration required) as well as 30 and 60-minute D2L, Core Curriculum, and Access & Accommodations training sessions (registration required). Refresh and reframe for the new semester with our sparkling soda and sips station.

We do our best work when we are energized, curious, and connected--and the world needs our best work now more than ever. The Teaching with Joy faculty pop-up lounge invites you to explore how joy isn't just a personal reward but a professional experience. This fall, our faculty pop-up lounge offers a space to reconnect with what makes teaching meaningful and fun. Whether you're revising a syllabus, exploring D2L tools, or just need a moment of inspiration, we hope you'll drop by and rediscover how joyful teaching leads to powerful learning. 

You teach best when you feel your best.
