About CETL

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) was established in 2007 to promote student learning by continually improving teaching at The University of Mississippi (UM).

Recognizing that learning is a process that needs constant attention and refinement, CETL works to promote an ongoing, university-wide discussion about teaching and learning issues. It is essential that faculty be engaged in dialogue about teaching and learning issues so that we can continue to adapt to the changing technology, student body, and understanding in our fields. This blog is part of our efforts to foster that kind of dialogue.

For more information about CETL and our programs and services for the UM community, please see our main website.
