On Wednesday, Oct. 29, Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) celebrated 60 Carleton educators who dedicated their time to enhancing the teaching and learning experience at the university.

Following its teaching and learning symposium, TLS held a graduation ceremony for the 41 faculty members and contract instructors who graduated from the EDC’s Certificate in University Teaching (CUT) program and the 19 educators who graduated from the Certificate in Blended and Online Teaching (CBOT) program this year.
