Carnegie Foundation selects university to participate in leadership program
23 Aug 2006

The Carnegie Foundation has recognized the University of Waterloo's leadership in teaching and learning as well as St. Jerome's University's strong emphasis on the liberal arts, selecting both institutions to participate in the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) institutional leadership program.

The program recognizes institutions with demonstrated commitment to and capacity for action, inquiry and leadership in the scholarship of teaching and learning.

UW and St. Jerome's join other North American and British post-secondary institutions for a three-year program of collaboration and inquiry focused on improving student learning and promoting institutional change in the support of teaching and learning.

UW was chosen for its commitment to supporting the improvement of student learning, promoting significant institutional change and demonstrating collaborative leadership, all recognized by the Carnegie academy as vital contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning. It will be joining nine other research-intensive institutions to explore the theme of undergraduate research.
