Committee on Teaching & Learning (CoTL)

The mandate of the Committee on Teaching & Learning (CoTL) is to enhance the quality of the student learning experience by providing leadership in promoting and recognizing educational excellence in science, and fostering a rich and vibrant teaching and learning community.

CoTL initiatives aim to raise the profile of teaching and learning in the Faculty of Science through the Faculty’s Excellence in Teaching & Leadership Awards, as well as hosting events for learning and collaboration, such as speaker series, workshops, and informal teaching-related socials for faculty and graduate students.

For questions, please contact the CoTL Chair at scicotl@yorku.ca.
