UACT panel to feature Columbia education center
The University Advisory Committee on Teaching (UACT) will hold its second teaching and learning panel on Tuesday, April 18. The event will start at 4 p.m. in the Jones Room of Woodruff Library. Two faculty members from Columbia University and members of UACT will talk about Columbia’s Center for Education Research and Evaluation (CERE), and the possibilities for bringing such a center to Emory.

Currently, Columbia’s CERE offers faculty assistance with all types of teaching and learning, including curriculum planning, student assessment, syllabus design and test construction. The center also works to promote scholarship in health and science education.

For more information, contact Donna Troka, program development coordinator for UACT, at dtroka@emory.edu or call 404-712-8704.
