Council for Innovation in Teaching & Learning

Established in Fall 2023, the Council draws together Drexel University’s diverse expertise and resources to collaboratively advance pedagogical and curricular excellence and innovation across the University.

In establishing the Council for Innovation in Teaching & Learning, the Provost’s Office seeks to build greater strategic alignment across initiatives and promote inclusive, evidence-based practices that build upon Drexel’s distinguishing strengths to better meet the developmental needs of faculty and learning needs of students. The Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Nina Henderson Provost.
