This event has already happened and remains on the website for archival purposes.

Please join us for this event as the Vanderbilt community celebrates the part of our culture that practices, values, and rewards university teaching and learning as vital forms of scholarship.

The inaugural Celebration of Teaching event will pay particular honor to two groups: those who have won university- or school-based teaching awards in the past year, and the first cohort of graduates from the Center for Teaching's Teaching Certificate program.

Pictured (l-r) are Center for Teaching Director Allison Pingree, Teaching Certificate Graduate Jennifer Osterhage, Chancellor Gordon Gee, Teaching Certificate Graduates Katy Attanasi and Leta Moser and Associate Provost for Research and Graduate Education Dennis Hall
