CART
Center for the Advancement of Research & Teaching
Celebrating 17 years of assisting faculty and librarians
with their research, teaching, and technology needs.
Our Mission
The mission of the Center for Advancement of Research and Teaching (CART) is to foster the development of scholarship and teaching for faculty and librarians. CART promotes individual, collaborative, and interdisciplinary scholarly and teaching activities and strives to create knowledge that contributes to our local and world communities.
We facilitate this goal with an internal grants program that supports faculty scholarship, research, creative work, teaching, and travel. Our travel grant program supports faculty attendance and participation in professional conferences. CART supports the faculty science seminar series, first and second year seminars (FYS and SYS), writing across the curriculum (WAC), monthly faculty colloquia, reading groups, and varied offerings and activities of its research fellow. CART also works with the Director of Teaching and Learning to facilitate teaching and discussions related to teaching. In May, CART organizes and hosts a celebration of faculty and librarian scholarly activity and works, as well as presentations on teaching and campus policies. These activities are directed by two faculty coordinators and an advisory board of faculty, librarians, and representatives of related administrative departments.
