The CAT and Temple’s Strategic Plan

Temple's strategic plan calls for the expansion of opportunities for collaboration and professional growth for all faculty. Provost Mandel has highlighted notable efforts that have been made to meet this strategic priority, many of which are initiatives led by the Office of the Vice Provost of Faculty Affairs, which includes the Center for the Advancement of Teaching.
