The Reinert CTE has three major service components:

• Teaching Enhancement
• Learning Technologies
• Service Learning

The Reinert CTE collaborates with other Saint Louis University departments, including The Center for Community Outreach, Information Technology Services, and SLU Libraries. We also have an active faculty advisory board.

We invite full-time and part-time faculty members and graduate assistants to take advantage of our many programs and services, and look forward to welcoming you to our events. Please contact us with any questions or suggestions for additional services that will further promote quality teaching at SLU.

Reinert CTE Mission Statement
The mission of the Paul C. Reinert, S. J. Center for Teaching Excellence is to support Saint Louis University faculty and graduate students so that they can better serve the intellectual, spiritual, and social needs of all learners. To fulfill this mission the Center:

• Helps faculty and graduate students find their own directions, meaning and pedagogical style in the context of Jesuit traditions of education.
• Develops a community of scholars who encourage and challenge each other through mutual inspiration, mentoring and renewal.
• Supports faculty and graduate students in the development of skills and knowledge of pedagogical approaches using technology, service learning, and other teaching innovations.
