Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT)
A strategic academic unit dedicated to sustainably enhancing the quality of education and teaching at our university, reinforcing student-centered learning methodologies, and delivering evidence-based academic insights to institutional decision-making processes.
Our Core Approach: Rather than replacing existing academic and administrative units, CELT functions as a strategic hub that empowers, integrates, highlights, and advances their educational and instructional initiatives.

Data-Informed Improvement
