The Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Assessment now resides in D-201 after a long-awaited remodel.

CETLA hours are Monday-Thursday: 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Friday: 8 a.m.-noon, and other times by appointment. IVCC’s CETLA coordinatior Dawn Lockwood took the time to answer a few questions regarding this new space on campus.

Q: How long did the construction take for this new space?

A: This space has been in the works for a long time. The construction ran into supply chain issues and other construction delays. We are very excited to be in the new space.

Q: What is the highlight of this new addition to our campus?

A: The best part of the space for CETLA is it is very flexible for training. All the tables and chairs are on wheels, allowing us to set the room in different configurations that can accommodate the entire faculty for Inservice, Faculty Summer Institute with a group of around 15, or a meeting with two or three.

Q: This addition houses CETLA and the college performance bands. What will this space be used for?

A: The bands and CETLA activities will keep this space busy during the day and evenings. We will have a video recording space that when it becomes operational will be available to faculty and students.

Q: For newer students and people who do not know what CETLA is, what is it?

A: CETLA’s mission is to support faculty at IVCC. We strive to support teaching and learning for faculty and student success. CETLA is a comprehensive one-stop support shop for all IVCC faculty located in room 201 in the D building. The space offers all faculty access to a scanner, printer, computers, and the CETLA staff who can assist with any instructional need.
