Wells Library Center for Innovative Teaching to open later this week

IU’s new Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning will officially open during a ribbon cutting ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at the center’s location on the second floor of the Herman B Wells Library.

The ceremony will be followed by a reception until 5 p.m.
The center was formed in 2010 and will serve as a source of support for IU instructors, according to a press release.

“CITL’s new, strategically planned space reflects its centrality to the mission of Indiana
University,” Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel said in the press release. “By providing faculty and graduate student instructors with innovative tools for helping students achieving learning outcomes, CITL upholds the University’s core objective of disseminating knowledge.”

The ceremony, which is open to the public, will feature a tour of the facility, remarks from various IU administrators and a time-lapse video of the $1.25 million project.
