Grants, Publications, and Presentations Even though CETL is internally focused on supporting KSU Faculty, our work is very innovative, and we are leaders in the field of educational development. Over the years we have become a national model by engaging the national conversation and disseminating our innovations through publications and conference presentations. We have also been successful in receiving external funding. Here is a select list of our grants and scholarship.
