The Center for Teaching and Learning is a cross-disciplinary, faculty-led initiative to support excellence in teaching, scholarship, professional development, and convivial collegiality.
The Center is working to develop a new program for the upcoming academic year that will, of course, include weekly lunches at noon on Wednesday, Fruits of Sabbatical, the writing group and several new initiatives.
This is the CTL lunch schedule for Fall 2025 scheduled for Wednesdays from 12-1 PM in the Gorman Faculty Lounge unless otherwise noted. We will be adding the rest of the semester lunch schedule as soon as we have confirmations.
