The Center for Excellence in Teaching (CET) partners with USC schools, departments, and academic units to deliver tailored workshops and presentations that advance teaching excellence and foster innovation across the university.

Whether you’re organizing a faculty retreat, planning a teaching-focused event, or launching a new initiative, CET can collaborate with your team—and with other campus partners—to create engaging, relevant, and actionable sessions. We customize every offering to align with your goals, your discipline, and your faculty’s interests.
