The Provost’s Council for Enhancing Student Learning is a representative body that seeks to enhance educational effectiveness in the colleges and schools, departments, and classrooms on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota. The Council works to achieve this mission by:
- Providing models, tools, and learning opportunities for faculty and students
- Encouraging and supporting the use of data to enhance student learning, and conducting research in learning assessment
- Sharing expertise across disciplines and among undergraduate, graduate, and professional education units.
The Council for Enhancing Student Learning received its charge from the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, and serves in an advisory capacity to the Provost.
A Steering Committee, comprised of members of the larger council, meets once a month. For a list of upcoming meetings, please contact Cynthia James Murdoch, at MACAL001@umn.edu.
