The Center for Teaching Excellence
Established in 1992, the primary role of the Center for Teaching Excellence is to support faculty as they work to integrate effective pedagogical approaches. We offer workshops, orientation for new faculty, one-on-one teaching consultations, and ongoing presentations and activities that focus on teaching and learning.
