CELTUA Grant/Award Recipients
Each year, CELTUA gives awards and grants to support teaching. Some of the recipients and projects are featured in the CELTUA newsletter.
Historically, some assessment projects were funded through a small grants program of Liberal Education. Sample reports from these projects are provided as exemplars of good work on assessment being done at Miami, and to provide ideas for new projects. The assessment was intended to produce data that could be used to make modifications that would help future students better meet your outcomes.
Listed below, categorized by grant type and then year, are the awardees for the previous five years.
