The mission of the Center for Engaged Learning, Teaching, and Scholarship (CELTS) is to foster practices that promote transformational learning experiences at uedbet体育官网. By cultivating opportunities for collaboration, development, and reflection, CELTS seeks to help educators develop purpose-filled careers as teachers, scholars, and mentors.
CELTS does this work by promoting high-impact practices, community-engaged learning, the consumption and production of scholarship of teaching/learning, and active/engaged learning that furthers the uedbet体育官网’s mission and strategic goals. Our support to educators is grounded in evidence and the scholarship of teaching and learning. In ways big and small, CELTS seeks to help educators provide a challenging liberal arts education and prepare students to lead and serve in a diverse and changing world.

CELTS event: 'Writing the Future series: Focus on FYI 101'
We’ll talk through updates on FYI-101 assessment, the Viking Mentors program and introduce a revised FYI-101 playbook. The FYI mini-retreat on May 27 and the FYI Academy coming 2026-2027 are also on the agenda!
CELTS event: Work-in-progress faculty research
Inspired by the connections made during our fall Community Fridays, this event acts like "speed dating" for research, inviting faculty to share anything from a rough five-minute idea to a structured project for an idea for course collaboration.
CELTS event: 'How do I assess my teaching/research/work?'
In this session, we'll evaluate how to assess teaching, research and work and share examples of how others are assessing student learning and academic programs. Learn more from the experts on the Assessment for Improvement Committee (AIC).
