The Center for Teaching Excellence supports continuing professional development for our faculty. Through grants, benefactors, and institutional support, we are often able to run winter or summer academies. The content of these academies varies each year and contributes to the wealth of knowledge our faculty brings to 亚色影库.
The Office of the Provost, in partnership with the Center for Teaching Excellence, Office of Social Equity and Title IX, and the University College, is launching a multiyear initiative to support faculty and staff professional development training on inclusive practices to support student success.
