Spring 2024 Events
Hamline Provost's Office identified High Impact Practices and Serving All Hamline Students as two main area of focus for our work, program development and review. This work will, hopefully, result in more new students coming to Hamline and an increase in retention. The Center for Teaching and Learning is eager to support you in your work! Please look at the list of events we planned and let us know what else we could do to support you!
