The LTC coordinates programs for new and experienced faculty, circulates new information about teaching theories and strategies, and helps to identify problems and suggest solutions for classroom practice.

The LTC was established in 1992, the result of work done by a faculty-student committee. It was begun, in part, by a grant from the Bush Foundation. An endowment from the Bush Foundation now supports the Coordinator position in the LTC in the form of an endowed chair titled the Humphrey Doerman Professor of Liberal Learning.

We are now the Perlman Center for Learning and Teaching thanks to a generous endowment from Lawrence Perlman to support the operations of the center.

Located in Laird Hall 115, the LTC is home to a small library and reading room, open throughout the day while classes are in session. Drop by to read, research or talk. But also think of the LTC as a metaphor for the creation of the quiet space and the free moments it takes to examine the work we do and why we do it.
