Cardinal Kickoff 2025

September 12, 2025 | by Casey L. Ford
One of the most energizing events of this year’s Faculty Welcome Week was Cardinal Kickoff: Faculty Professional Development Day, sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL).

Captured Moments

Our talented LU Studio team, Jack Fitch and Chris Busselle, were on hand to document the day’s excitement. From the luncheon to the full slate of breakout sessions, they’ve created a highlight reel that showcases the spirit of the event.

Thank You, Faculty! 

We’re grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to the day’s success. Your presence and participation reflected our university’s deep commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching. 
 
As Provost Brett Welch shared in his address: “You [faculty] are the ones on the front lines. You're the ones who take us from being really good... to great.” 
 

Special Thanks 

A big thank-you to Dr. Welch and the Office of the Provost for the delicious lunch and our bold new RED shirts—a wearable symbol of your Cardinal pride. Your support made Cardinal Kickoff both fun and impactful, and we’re already looking forward to next fall! 

What’s Next: Digital Ticket – Spring 2026 

Our next major faculty development event is Digital Ticket, set for February 2026. Digital Ticket is our annual in-house conference focused on instructional technologies and excellence in online teaching. 
 
A call for proposals will be coming soon—stay tuned and start thinking about what you might share!
