CTL Events

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers a variety of guest speakers and faculty workshops throughout the year in support of our faculty and their teaching duties. You are invited to participate in our faculty development talks, which provide professional development and aid in uncovering untapped resources. Many events are also recorded and will be made available online. If you have ideas to share or expertise in a teaching area, please contactÌýctl@ut.edu. The Center meets to discuss potential speakers and is funded by the University.
