  • Consulting with educators as they adopt and evaluate new teaching practices as part of their continuing professional development;
  • Fostering campus conversations on teaching and learning that are informed by national and international higher education developments, as well as local issues and priorities; and
  • Identifying, sharing, and advocating for research-based practices in university teaching and the resources that support them.
