About CETL

In 1989, the Minnesota State University System earned a six-year Bush Foundation grant to support faculty development and improve undergraduate student learning. The grant stipulated that each university establish a center for teaching and learning. In 1995, the Faculty Association approved the establishment of a center and Academic Affairs agreed to fund basic operating expenses and a faculty director.

Mission: The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning fosters, supports and celebrates communities of scholars engaged in collaborative inquiry to achieve intellectual and personal growth.

Vision: The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning supports St. Cloud State University as a vibrant culture within which faculty, staff and students can be deeply engaged with the wider community in developing transformational and integrated experiences, skills and knowledge for a diverse and sustainable global environment.
