Overview
The CLTR Advisory Board is a collaborative body of faculty members representing various academic disciplines across the university, serving as a valuable link between the Center and the broader campus community. The Advisory Board serves an important function in providing a space for faculty members to engage in dialogue, and offer guidance about the CLTR’s programs and services. While not a decision-making body, the Advisory Board's members contribute unique perspectives on pedagogical trends, technological advancements, and departmental needs, enabling the CLTR to develop and refine programs, services, and resources that align with and support the diverse academic community it serves.
The advisory board focuses on three primary areas:
- Engaging with the broader campus community and serving as a sounding board for CLTR staff.
- Supporting CLTR in strategic planning and exploring new opportunities, programs, and services that enhance teaching and learning for both faculty and students.
- Assist in identifying expertise and connections to enhance the CLTR's mission.
