The Doane Difference
Professional Development:

- CETL promotes research-based study that fosters academic engagement, learning, and success for all students.
Comprehensive Mentoring:
- At CETL, we promote Doane's reflective culture of innovative teaching, active involvement, and scholarly pursuits by using a comprehensive approach to mentoring faculty; from their arrival and throughout their career.
- Through cohort luncheons, portfolio development workshops, roundtable discussions, and one-on-one consultations, CETL supports faculty in an ongoing, flexible manner that is responsive to individual needs.
Community & Collaboration:
- CETL values interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty and seeks to further its mission through a variety of events that foster communication and a sense of community.
- Through monthly faculty seminars, a yearly Faculty Appreciation Week, and an Open Classroom initiative, CETL provides institutional and informal opportunities for faculty to learn from one another.
