Applications for 2025-26 Lead Teaching Fellowships were accepted through March 17. We will update applicants on their status after review and consultation with departments. Please reach out to CLTgrads@columbia.edu with any questions.

LTFs create teaching workshops and conversations all across campus

Lead Teaching Fellows participate in a series of meetings at the CTL, organize teaching-related events in their home departments, and act as liaisons between their peers and the CTL.

LTFs connect graduate students in their departments to teaching resources and support

Teaching Communities

LTFs are connected to peers who value teaching across disciplines and they cultivate community around pedagogy in their departments.

LTF-Led Events

Every semester, hundreds of Columbia graduate students participate in workshops and discussions. Browse recent and upcoming offerings.

Contact an LTF

An LTF in your department can connect to you a range of teaching resources. LTFs introduce themselves to peers in the department; feel free to reach out to them with questions about CTL teaching offerings and support.
