CELT Mission

CELT advances educational excellence at the University of Kentucky through (1) collaboration with faculty, staff, and students; (2) partnerships with academic and administrative units; and (3) leadership on the challenges, opportunities, and issues impacting teaching and learning in higher education. Regardless of the form and setting in which teaching and learning take place, CELT is an expert and committed presence to foster community, collaboration, and innovation for instructor and student success at UK (and beyond). For more on our work, see our annual reports.
