IUPUC Interim Vice Chancellor and Dean Dr. Jay Howard had this to say about the Center for Teaching & Learning Professional Development programming for Higher Education Faculty: 

 “The growing sense of collaboration and commonality among the various faculty groups has been one of the most significant achievements of the Center for Teaching & Learning.”  

The Center for Teaching & Learning has been instrumental in building bridges among the faculties of IUPUC, Ivy Tech Community College Columbus, and the Purdue University College of Technology in Columbus.   Faculty members routinely identify and share best practices and join in shared discussions about ways to improve teaching and learning.
