What We Do

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) supports faculty and graduate students through teaching observations, one-on-one consultations, new full- and part-time faculty orientations, workshops, and course design programs. The CTL is also home to the Supplemental Instruction (SI) and Active Learning Assistant (ALA) programs, as well as the Campus Testing Center (CTC).  We are located on the 5th floor of Lucas Hall on North Campus. As of January 2023, the Testing Center is temporarily located at the South Campus Computer Building.
