Every year over 1,700 OSU teaching faculty work hard to provide our students with an exceptional college experience. Being an effective educator takes work. Course design, assessment, and course delivery all involve energy. Over the last years, our teaching faculty kept teaching even through a pandemic. We, the staff of the Center for Teaching and Learning, get to see and hear much of the wonderful activities going on in the classroom. OSU also recognizes outstanding efforts.
