Center for Faculty Excellence

The Center for Faculty Excellence is the University’s lead resource for teaching and learning support for faculty, staff, and graduate students.

• Articulate clear and challenging expectations for students
• Develop and use pedagogical strategies that engage students in learning and academic success
• Create supportive environments for students both inside and outside the classroom
• Develop, use, and analyze assessment methods and strategies that help increase student academic performance
