Overview

TLC was begun as an informal group of professors interested in faculty development and improving classroom teaching and learning. The Linda J. Emanuel Teaching Learning Center (TLC) emerged in 1998 when President Willis allocated a yearly budget and remodeling began on the second floor of the Library in a room formerly used for storage and small meetings. Under the direction of Linda J. Emanuel, the TLC began hosting teaching and learning workshops and colloquia organized by various teams of volunteer faculty.

Named to honor the Professor of French that was instrumental in the founding of the Teaching and Learning Center in 1998, served as the first director, and was known for her many contributions to college teaching and advancement of student learning.

After Dr. Emanuel’s death in 2000, Dr. Charles M. Jenkins became the new President and Director of the TLC.  At that time, the Constitution was finalized and passed by a vote of the team members and other involved faculty.  Constitution and By-Laws (pdf file)
