Workshops

CELT offers workshops, seminars and lunch discussions during the academic year on a variety of topics. Some of these are campus-wide events that we schedule based on campus issues or topics of national concern. Some are requested by individual faculty members or by departments or colleges. We can tailor a workshop to fit your needs.

Activities for this academic year can be found at our Upcoming Events page which also lists instructionally-related events offered by other academic units sometimes in collaboration with CELT.
