A better world through teaching and learning
This is a pivotal moment for the Poorvu Center as we launch into our second decade promoting educational excellence across Yale and beyond.
Through the Center’s collaborative teams, we engage with faculty across Yale to support their teaching and pedagogical development while working with students to prepare them for success, both in and out of the classroom. As we look ahead to our next decade, we strive to bring recognition to Yale as the research university most committed to teaching and learning. We will do this through a comprehensive new strategic plan that will guide our work over the next few years.
