Public Presentations for the Executive Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence Finalists

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

We are pleased to announce public presentations for four finalists for the position of Executive Director of the new UIC Center for Teaching Excellence. Finalist names and details will be released a few days before the visits begin. The Executive Director will be responsible for starting up and leading the new Center, which will support all members of the UIC community who have a teaching role, including faculty and teaching assistants at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels. The Executive Director will hire and then lead a full-time staff to build a highly interactive Center that utilizes the expertise already at UIC in the areas of assessment, diversity, instructional technology, etc. to support teaching and increase student success. More information about the planning for this new Center can be found here.
