Other Institutional and USG Teaching and Learning Initiatives

Faculty interests often lead them to ambitious projects that demand considerable time investment over an extended period of time. CETL runs a competitive program that allows recipients to reassign 100% of their time to their project. This year, we completely redesigned the program with guidance from the Office of the Provost and from the Office of the Vice President for Research to align it with the R2 roadmap. We are pleased that we were able to accept the following proposals:

CETL Leadership in the Profession

CETL is proud to support the work of our faculty internally on our campuses, but the trajectory toward becoming a top R2 institution passes through joining national and international conversations, gaining external recognition, and showcasing our accomplishments on that stage. We are proud to say that CETL is doing its part to help realize this goal!

While CETL’s primary mission is internally focused on our own faculty and students, members of CETL publish in respected journals when appropriate and present or keynote at national conferences or on other campuses when invited. We also hold leadership positions on several national and international boards. And most closely related to the KSU R2 roadmap, CETL has contributed to secure millions of dollars in grants from external agencies.

In addition to participating in existing national activities, CETL is also an active catalyst in fostering research-based discourse around teaching and learning. Our SoTL Summit conference, formerly the Georgia Conference on College and University Teaching, has a rich tradition of celebrating research on teaching and learning and has expanded far beyond Georgia to a national and even international audience.

When it comes to educational development, KSU’s reputation is sterling! This section records and documents our accomplishments in educational development and related fields.
