Departmental Action Teams (DATs) Info Session

January 16, 2026 @ 11:00 am 12:00 pm EST

Departmental Action Teams (DATs) support broad-scale and sustainable improvements in undergraduate education through either curriculum revision (what is taught) or pedagogical changes (how it is taught). This model is of particular interest to the selection committee for the Alex and Brit d’Arbeloff Fund for Excellence in Education.

In this webinar, Drs. Ruthann Thomas and Raechel Soicher will provide a brief overview of the goals, structure, and process for creating and sustaining Departmental Action Teams (DATs) to identify and implement curricular and/or pedagogical changes that improve undergraduate education. There will be ample time to ask questions and discuss potential proposals.

Additional information on the Departmental Action Team is available at https://tll.mit.edu/departmental-action-teams/. Reach out to tll-dat@mit.edu with any questions.
