Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT)
A strategic academic unit dedicated to sustainably enhancing the quality of teaching and learning across our university, reinforcing student-centered approaches, and providing evidence-based contributions to educational decision-making processes.
Our Core Approach: CELT does not replace existing academic and administrative units; rather, it serves as a strategic center that supports, integrates, highlights, and advances their education-related processes.
