At CETLA, our mission is simple but powerful: to support faculty in shaping compassionate leaders equipped to make a difference in their communities and across the world. At the heart of our vision is a commitment to fostering learning environments where every student can thrive. We support educators in enhancing their instructional practices across all modalities—face-to-face, hybrid, and online—by offering professional development opportunities grounded in research, emerging technologies, and best practices. CETLA promotes continuous growth by supporting faculty, students, and staff in creating transformative learning experiences that are culturally responsive, evidence-based, and equity-minded.

As Interim Director, I am honored to build on the strong foundation established by CETLA’s leadership and to collaborate with faculty, staff, and students in advancing a teaching and learning culture that reflects Howard University's enduring legacy. I invite you to engage with our offerings, connect with our team, and join a community dedicated to elevating pedagogy and fostering student success. Together, we can continue to create meaningful learning experiences that inspire, uplift, and empower. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we look forward to working with you.

Warmly,

Dr. Kyndra Middleton
Interim Director, Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
