| CTE Director Corly Brooke |
Welcome back! The Center for Teaching Excellence has had a terrific start to the new academic year. The 2003 New Faculty Orientation and University Teaching Seminar were extremely successful. And now we are into the full swing of the semester. We've put together some great fall programs that can be viewed on the CTE fall schedule. You will find information about registering for CTE workshops, Teaching and Learning Circles, and Faculty Forums.
2003/2004 is a special year for the CTE as we are celebrating our 10th anniversary! Dr. Steve Richardson, Professor of Geology, was the first Director of the CTE and opened the doors in the fall of 1993. Since then the CTE has enjoyed a supportive and enjoyable relationship with the ISU community. I joined the Center as Director in 1998. Our staff consists of Susan Yager, Associate Director; Jane Henning, Assistant to the Director; Pam Milloy, Program Coordinator; and Keren Zuniga, graduate assistant. For more information please visit our staff information page. Our mission continues to be to promote learning and the scholarship of teaching at Iowa State University. We strive to foster the development of communities of faculty, students, and staff that support effective teaching and learning. In celebration of our 10th anniversary, the CTE is pleased to host a series of dinner events featuring award-winning ISU teachers. I sincerely hope you can join us!
As you have noticed by now our CTE newsletter has gone online. We hope you enjoy this new format. We are eager to provide you with the resources you need to enhance your teaching. Please let us know what we can do for you!
