Center for Teaching and Advising
Welcome...
to Gonzaga's Center for Teaching and Advising! The purpose of the Center is to foster meaningful conversations among GU faculty about ways to enhance the work we do in the areas of teaching and advising. The Center was established in the Fall of 2006.
Our Mission
The Center for Teaching and Advising, in support of the Mission of Gonzaga University, seeks to enhance learning by promoting an ongoing conversation among faculty about teaching and advising and by providing faculty with the instructional opportunities and resources necessary for exemplary work to occur in those areas. Specifically, the Center aims to:
- provide a venue for GU faculty to explore and exchange successful strategies for teaching and advising
- cultivate a campus culture in which teaching and advising are highly valued, broadly discussed, and openly debated
- promote the importance of advising as an integral part of teaching and learning
- serve as a center where recent and emerging scholarship and practices in higher education are made available and accessible to the campus community
- create a physical space on campus for conversation, reflection, and exchange of ideas among faculty and advisors from all disciplines
- assist faculty in integrating the Gonzaga Mission into their teaching and advising
- provide tangible support for teachers of The Core
- promote faculty mentoring relationships
- support faculty in their concurrent development as teachers, learners, and scholars in higher education
