About the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning
The John P. “Jack” Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning provides leadership, advocacy, support, faculty development, and instructional services for teaching and learning excellence at the University of Wyoming. All of our services and programs are free to the university’s instructional community both in and outside of Laramie, including faculty, lecturers, graduate teaching assistants, post-doctoral fellows, and anyone else involved in teaching at the university. The ECTL oversees the Writing Center, Instructional Computing Services, and Instructional Media Services.
In service of our mission, we create a broad array of programs that include workshops, seminars, forums, book discussions, and grant-supported projects. We also consult with individuals and provide informal and formal classroom observations. We welcome suggestions for programs and are pleased to collaborate with university departments and support offices to co-sponsor events.
ECTL Welcomes New Director
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Margaret Flanigan Skinner of UW’s Department of Zoology and Physiology as the new director of the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning. Meg brings superb credentials to the job. Since earning her Ph.D. at the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School in South Africa, she has taught in clinical settings in England and Canada, and she has taught a wide variety of lower-division, upper-division, and graduate courses at UW. She brings tremendous depth to her new role, with a philosophy of teaching borne of experience in settings ranging from the lecture hall to the laboratory and from writing courses to practicums and internships.
Meg is also one of this year’s three winners of the Ellbogen Award for Meritorious Classroom Teaching. This award is the university’s gold standard for teaching excellence. She is also an accomplished scientist, having authored many refereed publications and invited lectures on sleep disorders and psychopharmacology.
Meg is excited to be joining the team at the ECTL, and is looking forward to supporting and encouraging our UW community of scholarly teachers. The ECTL will be announcing our upcoming series of Fall workshops and seminars in the very near future. We would like to continue to offer events that are meaningful to all faculty and lecturers, and so Meg cordially invites suggestions and comments from all interested parties. And please don't hesitate to contact her for arrangement of individual or group consultations.
