The Mission of the CTL
The Center for Teaching and Learning cultivates communities of inquiry and practice to promote excellent teaching, learning, and scholarship in the liberal arts. We nurture the learning environment of Grinnell College by fostering conversation and reflection at the intersection of pedagogy, the scholarship of teaching and learning, instructional design, and academic technologies. We advance practices of teaching and learning that are accessible, inclusive, and grounded in the best available evidence.

Please join us for the Community Friday on Oct. 16 with Ellen de Graffenreid, Vice President of Communications and Marketing. At a time where almost half of students are using AI to search for college options, organic traffic to college and university web sites has dropped by 53% and 60% of Google searches now end without a click, how is Grinnell College positioning itself to be visible and legible to AI chatbots, search engines, and emerging technologies? Learn about how Grinnell’s marketing, digital, and enrollment teams are thinking about these issues, how you may see the enrollment and financial aid section of the website evolve as we learn more and pilot new approaches.
The Center for Teaching and Learning gratefully acknowledges the Office of Communications and Marketing for co-sponsoring this lunch.
Early arrival is encouraged for the lunch buffet that opens at 11:45 a.m. Thank you for using reusable flatware to cut down on plastic waste. The fall Community Friday schedule is available on the CTL website at Community Fridays - Center for Teaching and Learning.
