Maybe you are even thinking of submitting a proposal to the Provost’s Investment Fund (<a href="https://provost.arizona.edu/provost-investment-fund">https://provost.arizona.edu/provost-investment-fund</a>) as the first step toward broader transformation? The
Cardon Academy for Teaching Excellence (CATE) would like to help - whether in the form of brainstorming, problem solving, or networking. If you’d like to set up a 30 minute session with the CATE Fellows for a time over the next few weeks in advance of the
Provost’s January 29th deadline, please reach out to me (<a href="mailto:mmars@arizona.edu">mmars@arizona.edu</a>) ASAP. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
