“We are grateful to Professor Osguthrope, who was the inaugural director of the Center for Teaching and Learning when it was organized in the spring of 2007. He has shepherded the university through the development of and transition to Learning Suite, and has been visionary and passionate about the improvement of teaching at the university,” said Webb.
