Enriching the Design of General Education

The Enriching the Design of General Education (EDGE) program empowers faculty to design and teach inclusive, student-centered general education courses that challenge assumptions, honor diverse experiences, and foster deep learning. Through a vibrant community of practice, EDGE offers pedagogical resources and opportunities to connect with the community of faculty teaching general education courses through in-person events and an asynchronous space in Microsoft Teams. Through this holistic approach, EDGE supports innovative, evidence-based teaching grounded in the purpose of general education.
