Mission

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) provides programming and assistance for faculty and staff to enhance their work as educators. We offer inclusive space for faculty and staff to meet for personal and professional growth. We focus on teaching, learning, and instructional technology.

We fulfill this by:

Fostering campus conversations on teaching and learning.
Providing opportunities to develop and refine evidence-based teaching and learning through workshops, group consultations, and individual consultations.
Supporting teaching and learning by embracing change in our environment at local, state, and national levels.
Collaborating with educators as they adopt and evaluate teaching practices.
