Center for Learning & Teaching

Denison places the faculty/student experience at the center of its liberal arts education. The Center for Learning and Teaching was established in 2015 to support and enhance that foundational relationship. The Center's primary goals are to support and collaborate with faculty at all career stages to develop and enhance teaching skills, explore and refine pedagogical perspectives, and to promote student learning in all facets of a liberal arts education.
