Mission
Our mission is to cultivate a collaborative and inclusive environment where educators thrive and grow together to promote the values of the college.
At the CFE we develop, lead, advance, and support campus initiatives that are designed to engage the robust development of every aspect of our faculty members’ professional lives. Our goals are to deepen pedagogical knowledge and practices for all college community members and to advance positive organizational change in the service of inclusive excellence. It is our privilege to dedicate our knowledge to promoting excellence in our faculty in the knowledge that such excellence contributes to our students’ success.
Through this mission, we aim to:
- Connect colleagues across campus to create a sense of community and belonging
- Link educators across disciplines to share expertise and foster mutual, collaborative communities of practice.
- Cultivate a culture of inquiry into teaching practice.
- Promote scholarship and creative endeavors.
- Foster personal growth and self-awareness as educators.
