March 5th, 2001

The Center for Excellence in Teaching is established to promote and support exemplary teaching, facilitate the continued professional development of faculty as teachers, and introduce new faculty to the culture of excellence in teaching at Boston University. The center is a forum for exploring the methods, tools, and spirit of inquiry central to the teaching and learning processes. By cultivating teachers who transmit their own passion for an area of inquiry and curiosity about what remains to be discovered, the center encourages teachers to motivate students to participate actively in their own education and to guide them on their way to becoming lifelong learners.

“The purpose of this center is to assist faculty and teaching fellows with resources, encourage them to excel as teachers, and underscore the importance of excellence in teaching.”—Provost Dennis Berkey
