Who We Are
The Teaching & Learning Commons (TLC) was formed in 2024 to empower instructors with the resources, tools, and support they need to create dynamic and engaging learning environments. All our efforts aim to improve both student and faculty experiences and outcomes.
Our Vision: The Future We Want to See
Our vision is an educational ecosystem in our community where every member, including students, faculty, and staff, is empowered to unlock their lifelong potential.
Our Mission Statement: The Strategy to Achieve the Future
Our mission is to foster a dynamic and inclusive educational environment that builds relational connections among learners and educators, increases everyone's sense of value and belonging, promotes a growth mindset, and elevates the value of teaching practice for faculty. This includes advocating for equity, diversity, and inclusivity within the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ community and beyond.
The TLC General Council and Advisory Board
The TLC General Council consists of members from every department at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. The council provides guidance, expertise, and strategic advice to the TLC.
To expedite planning, a TLC Advisory Board will be selected by the TLC General Council members. The advisory board has five to seven members representing various community groups including students, educators, and administrators.
