Mission Statement
The Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning creates valuable and appropriate connections across campus to facilitate individuals’ growth as engaged university citizens; and serves faculty, librarians, and the institution in pursuit of teaching, scholarship, and creative excellence.
The Center provides programming and services in three areas:
- Induction and ongoing support of faculty and librarians;
- Professional development focused on research-based and culturally responsive teaching practices, acquisition of skills to support diverse learners, and academic career progress; and
- Institutional change relevant to diversity, equity and inclusion in teaching, scholarship, and creative activities.
Our programming and services are designed to encourage reflective pedagogy and practice and assist in creating an equitable learning environment for all faculty, librarians, staff, and students. The Faculty Center encourages self-directed inquiry through various modes including professional development workshops, professional learning communities, midsemester focus sessions, conference participation, and consultations.
