鈥淲hen things are taking their ordinary course, it is hard to remember what matters.鈥�

In recent weeks, the CTL staff have been reflecting upon what we have learned over the course of the inaugural year of our center. It goes without saying that the past twelve months presented us all with a host of obstacles and setbacks, but聽there have been bright spots as well. Significantly, each of us has expressed gratitude for the many friendships and partnerships that we have formed.
Thanks are due to the faculty, graduate students, and staff who contributed to our programming, to the many departments who invited us to deliver workshops, to the members of our learning communities, to folks who reached out for consultations, to colleagues who helped us spread the word about our events, to experts who shared their knowledge and pointed us to great resources, to our regular participants, to those who attended a single event, and to all who filled out surveys or otherwise provided us with invaluable feedback. It has been a true privilege to work with educators across our campus to advance the teaching mission of our university.
On behalf of the CTL staff, I wish you all a restorative summer and look forward to further collaborations in the coming academic year.
With gratitude,
Kirk Ambrose
Founding Faculty Director
