University Teaching Advisory Council
The inaugural Teaching Center Advisory Council was convened in August 2021, as a transition from the Teaching Center Task Force. This standing committee is charged with supporting the work of the Center and ensuring that Center efforts to provide support for teaching excellence are aligned with the Center Mission and Vision. This work includes supporting the creation of strategic priorities and plans for the Center that are in alignment with evidence-based, innovative and high impact practices; supporting the ongoing assessment of Center efforts and instructor needs from a continuous improvement approach; and providing key support for the development and implementation of Center programs and initiatives.
The Advisory Council is populated via staggered, 2-year appointments, with representation from the following core constituencies: (a) graduate instructors, (b) part-time instructors, (c) lecturers, (d) tenure-track/tenured faculty, and (e) representation from a diverse array of colleges, including the College of Medicine.
