My quote of the day for colleagues with a phobia about computers:
"The teacher who can be replaced by a computer, should be!" (Anonymous)
Here are some bon mots for everyone else:
"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." (Mark Twain)"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." (Mark Twain)

As the Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence I am responsible for the overall operation of the Center. My duties include providingleadership for the Center in supporting teaching and learning at all levels and in all contexts in which instruction and learning occurs in the University. With the active support of the Specialists in the Center, I promote faculty enrichment and the provision of instructional support, promote student learning resources and support, and the provision of computer lab services. I am also responsible for the Center’s budget, personnel, and facilities. A very important aspect of my work is to promote communication and interaction across the campus to enhance the instructional mission of the University of Scranton.
