Champion Teaching Excellence

To be the best, students must learn from the best.

Exceptional faculty and teaching excellence are the heart and soul of Weber State. We will always be an institution that puts teaching first. And that means keeping up with how teaching has evolved: from classroom lectures and overhead projectors to immersive learning through virtual reality, artificial intelligence, simulation technology, big data analytics, hybrid course modules and more. We must support our faculty in developing the knowledge and skills to integrate more technology into their teaching in ways that are engaging and impactful.

With your support, Amplify Weber State will provide more teaching innovation grants and awards, endowed chairs and professorships, professional development funding and updated and enhanced teaching spaces that allow our dedicated faculty to do what they do best: transform our students’ lives and futures through teaching.

Why This Initiative Matters

Leslie Durham, WSU interim president
“Weber State's unwavering focus on the student learning experience requires us to embrace change. We must continually invest in the innovative teaching and technology that define the cutting edge of education, empowering our faculty with the resources and training to integrate virtual reality, AI, and data analytics into their courses. This direct investment in our people and tools is the only way to ensure our students gain the transformative, high-impact learning experience they need to secure their future in the digital economy.”
