The Center for Teaching Excellence

Founded in 2002, on the recommendation of the Academic Vision Committee, the mission of the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) is to foster discussion about, provide resources for, as well as to celebrate excellence in teaching and learning at Nazareth College.

Now available for the Nazareth community: the on-line journal Effective Practices for Academic Leaders (Please note: you will need your Nazareth College Lorette Wilmot Library login/barcode number if you are accessing this link from off campus.)
