Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning logoThe Center for the Advancement of STEM Teaching and Learning Excellence (CASTLE) recently joined the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning network. The CIRTL network is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded network that is comprised of 46 Research-1 institutions with a shared goal of improving the diversity of STEM fields and the STEM literacy of the nation. Members of the CIRTL Network work to prepare future STEM faculty for careers that include undergraduate college and university teaching.
