ITLE (Year 4) - Initiative for Teaching and Learning Excellence 2008

Recipients of the Year 4 Initiative for Teaching and Learning Excellence grants will be recognized at a public reception beginning at 3:30 p.m. March 11 in the Van Brunt Visitors Center. Congratulations to this year's recipients, who are listed below.

This year's initiative focused on projects aimed at helping students write better.

Announced in 2004 and launched in 2005, the Initiative has awarded 53 competitive grants to projects designed by UNL faculty and staff, all aimed toward improving some facet of undergraduate teaching or learning on the UNL campus. More than $900,000 has been committed to the 53 funded projects.

First-, second-, and third-year projects addressed seven overarching themes: Advising; Learner-Centered Classroom; One Campus, Many Views; Program Innovation; Teaching and Learning with Technology; Outcomes-Based Assessment; and Teaching Fellows.

Funding for the ITLE has been generously provided by the University of Nebraska Foundation.
