The Center for Learning and Teaching (CLT) offers a variety of services and programs for teaching enhancement at The American University in Cairo (AUC), among these are: faculty workshops, teaching and learning institutes and professional development programs, campus-wide symposia and fora, [a bi-weekly newsletter](https://learnhub.aucegypt.edu/cltnewsletter/) to share insights, experiences, and information about the most recent trends in higher education, in addition to pedagogical consultations.

## Faculty Workshops

CLT workshops reflect on the opportunities, challenges, and many lessons learned from the global pandemic that had flung us all into new ways of exploring our abilities and imagination in the new normal learning space.
