The mission of the Center for Teaching Excellence is to foster the enhancement of teaching excellence in all its forms.
We seek to provide constructive and developmental mechanisms for nurturing the excellence in teaching that already exists at IUP. These mechanisms will honor our differences and build on our strengths.
