The Center for Faculty Teaching and Learning, under the Office of Instructional Excellence, is dedicated to supporting faculty throughout their professional journey at CSU. We partner with educators to enhance teaching effectiveness, foster professional growth, strengthen university processes, and promote meaningful student engagement that leads to student success.

Our mission is to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and collaboration by providing resources and opportunities that empower faculty to excel in teaching, leadership, scholarship, and service.

Through workshops, professional development programs, faculty learning communities, consultations, and individualized support services, we help faculty develop their talents, strengthen instructional practices, and navigate university processes with confidence.
