Our Mission

The Center for Teaching and Learning provides support for faculty to learn about, implement, and engage in scholarship on teaching and learning practices that are student-centered, evidence-based, innovative, and inclusive.

• Inclusive:  We affirm the value of diverse experiences, identities, backgrounds, and perspectives and are committed to teaching and learning practices that actively promote equity and inclusion.
