What is the CTLD Celebration of Faculty?
The Center for Teaching, Learning and Design (CTLD) works with amazing faculty year round, from those who have been proactive with Instructional Accessibility to those involved in course development projects and Faculty Learning Communities, and many others.
These instructors have done the important work of improving their teaching, their courses, and their impact on students at MSU Denver. We invite faculty members who have worked with CTLD in the last year, along with their chairs and deans, to celebrate their work with us.
A catered meal, collegial discussion and networking, and a digital poster session to highlight faculty work are included!
The fourth annual CTLD Celebration of Faculty will tentatively be held at MSU Denver on Monday, May 19, 2025. More details will be shared Spring 2025. Stay tuned!
