Faculty Fellows in support of Faculty Development
We understand that making connections and building relationships with other faculty can be an important path to your teaching success. The Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) wants to provide a mechanism to easily get that support to you in a variety of ways. We want to create opportunities for dialogue and reflection about teaching, foster a sense of faculty community, and provide tangible advice and guidance that can help promote a culture of pedagogical excellence at Marquette University.
