The Teachers of Lighting Workshop (TOLW) is an intensive, week-long professional development program designed to advance the knowledge and teaching expertise of university faculty who incorporate lighting into architecture, interior design, engineering, and related curricula.
Offered biennially, the workshop is limited to 24 faculty participants, creating an engaging and collaborative learning environment. Through a combination of technical instruction, hands-on experiences, demonstrations, and peer exchange, participants deepen their understanding of lighting principles, technologies, applications, and design practices while exploring effective approaches to lighting education. Faculty leave the program with expanded knowledge, practical teaching resources, and new strategies for enriching curricula and preparing the next generation of lighting and design professionals.
The next offering of TOLW will be Summer 2028, specific dates to follow in 2027.
