A Collaborative Vision For Higher Education

Our History, Our Future
CIEL began as a working group whose members traced their roots to the best innovative and reform practices in higher education.
Members defy easy categories. We excel in different ways, but common threads include our shared commitment to:
- Deep and rich student-centered practices
- Discovering best practices to inspire engaged, life-long learners
- Empowering thoughtful citizens.
We seek authentic teaching, assessment, interdisciplinary and experiential learning techniques.
We come together to learn from each other and maximize our impact on higher education.
