The Teaching and Learning Center

Mission Statement
The Teaching and Learning Center (TLC), advised by a taskforce, supports teaching and learning on all levels by offering opportunities, activities and services that promote student learning.

Philosophy The Center is responsive to the needs of faculty and professional staff. Recognizing that teaching can be an isolating experience, and that there are many demands on professors' and professional staff's time, the center can provide a place and forum for faculty discussion, renewal and camaraderie. Here, the opportunities for sharing ideas about teaching, sharing frustrations as well as successes, can be rewarding and energizing. The Center:

• Encourages and supports faculty and professional staff by providing services, resources, and activities that promote the enhancement of teaching and learning.
• Provides links with other campuses and organizations
  throughout the state, region and country.
• Brings faculty and professional staff together to share
  ideas, perspectives and expertise.

If you would like to become involved, or if you have an idea,
workshop or a presentation you would like to share with the
campus community, please contact us or just drop in.
