Programs and Events

The Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE) promotes excellence and innovation in teaching and learning through the professional growth of Creighton faculty and staff in the Jesuit tradition. The CFE facilitates a culture of academic rigor that supports best practices in teaching, learning, curriculum enhancement, and academic technologies directed to enhance student learning at all levels of the learning process (i.e., classroom/clinic/community, program, college/school, and institution), including assessment of student learning. The CFE programs/workshops in a variety of formats and consultation to individuals and groups, both in general and at the request of individuals, departments, and schools/colleges.

The CFE invites faculty and professional staff who teach, as a part of their ongoing formation, to actively engage with a community of scholars in teaching excellence by enrolling in programs that best match your interest and availability.

View and register for programs in Bridge.  Programs are available live and on-demand (recorded).
