The Center for Teaching and Learning at Hobart and William Smith Colleges promotes an engaged, productive, innovative, and inclusive intellectual community for faculty and students. The CTL serves as a catalyst for excellence in teaching and learning by providing enrichment programs for faculty and students. Philosophy At the Center for Teaching and Learning, we believe that in order to create, innovate, inspire, and lead lives of consequence, our journeys begin with 4 cornerstones: we ENGAGE in our own learning processes in order to ACCOMPLISH the goals we set so that we can EMPOWER ourselves and others and ENRICH our lives as learners and teachers. The Center for Teaching and Learning promotes critical engagement and reflection on teaching and learning in pursuit of HWS's commitment to excellence, equity, innovation, and engaged citizenship. We view both teaching and learning as a collaborative process that values diversity of learning, teaching, and disciplinary styles. Center for Teaching and Learning is located in the Rosensweig Learning Commons of the Library.
