Research Boot Camp (Monday-Friday, June 1-5, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.)

CTE is excited to announce the 2026 Research Boot Camp, June 1-5. Designed exclusively for higher education faculty, this multiday camp allows participants to be part of a team that conducts academic research and completes an entire journal article and academic poster in one week.

Over the course of boot camp, you will:

Attend sessions on creating a journal article, submission strategies, and navigating the publication process
Conduct original academic research with live participants
Receive expert guidance on methodology, data collection, analysis, and reporting
Prepare a scholarly article for submission to Liberty University’s Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Create an academic poster to showcase your project at an upcoming conference

By the conclusion of the week, faculty will leave Research Boot Camp with an article accepted for publication in a scholarly journal, approval to present at a conference, a template for an academic poster, and skills for scholarly success. Additionally, participants will be provided meals and a stipend for attending all five days of camp. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available upon request. Register by emailing cte@liberty.edu or via the Course Registration tool in myLU (Subject Code: PDCT).
