The Center for Excellence in Leaning and Teaching (CELT) invites you to make the most of the winter break by joining our Winter Workshop Series, designed to help you refresh your teaching strategies and start the new term with confidence. All workshops will be held on Zoom, making it easy to participate from anywhere.
We encourage all faculty to register so we know you’re attending and so you can receive the Zoom link for each session.
