8th Annual CELT Program

8th Annual Celebration of Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT)

Student Union, 3rd Floor


TEACHING AND LEARNING INFORMATION HALL
10:00 am to 11:45 am and 1:30 pm to 3:15 pm

The goal for this 8th annual Celebration is to create a conversational atmosphere. This year we are planning a highly interactive discussion format where you will have the opportunity to mingle and talk with colleagues as we showcase best practices in teaching, learning and technology. Plan on stopping in when you are not in class to chat with colleagues, share excellent ideas, learn about new innovations and be a part of CELT. We can’t have a celebration without you!


STUDENT POSTER SESSION
10:00 am to 11:45 am

All members of the campus community including undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate in the poster session. Encourage your students to submit a poster title and be sure to drop by to see the excellent work displayed by talented students.
