In fall 2021, Senior Vice Provost of Academic Affairs Mark Smith charged the Center for Teaching and Learning with calling together a group of staff and faculty leaders at UT who are overseeing teaching and learning support and decision making on campus. Since that time, the group has been engaging in regular meetings with a variety of campus partners to forge new and nurture existing teaching and learning collaborations on campus and increase coordination of teaching and learning efforts to make an even greater positive impact for instructors, staff and students on campus around UT’s academic mission.
