University-wide Committee on Teaching and Faculty Development (UCTFD)
The role of the UCTFD is to assist the provost in affirming excellent teaching and learning as a priority at Tufts, and in that context to promote and coordinate the educational and faculty development activities of Tufts' schools. The UCTFD also serves as the steering committee for the University-wide Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT) and for the University Seminar program. Chaired by Associate Provost Mary Y. Lee, and a rotating co-chair from one of the schools, membership includes academic deans and faculty, as appointed by the school Deans or Directors to represent their local faculty and teaching development "office" or "process," the dean for undergraduate education, a library representative appointed by the University Library Council (ULC), the director of CELT, and representatives from other institutional offices that support faculty in their academic work, including the Office of the Provost, Office of Institutional Research and Evaluation, and Academic Technology. Meets monthly, September to June.
