Promoting exemplary teaching and meaningful learning
The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) was established in 2006 to promote exemplary teaching and meaningful learning at the University of Mississippi (UM) by...
- supporting members of the university teaching community as they develop and adopt evidence-based teaching practices,
- fostering university-wide discussions on teaching and learning issues, and
- serving as advocates for the teaching mission of the university.
CETL welcomes anyone at the University of Mississippi engaged in instruction or support of instruction to participate in our programs and services. We define this broadly to include tenure-track faculty, instructional faculty, adjunct faculty, visiting faculty, graduate students, and those fostering the teaching mission, including teaching assistants, tutors, student support staff, librarians, and others.
