CETL Reception for Super Prof Recipients

CETL supports peer recognition of faculty excellence!  Founded in 2010 by CETL Founding Director Nan Peck, the SuperProf recognition allows faculty to nominate their peers for excellent teaching. CETL recognizes the nominees as SUPERPROFS!

A reception was held on April 25th to honor the 2010-2012 Super Prof Recipients!  In a well attended event, the SuperProfs, their nominators and their deans received plaques, SuperProf buttons and the recognition they deserve.
