Villanova Institute for Teaching and Learning
A hallmark of Villanova University’s academic community is its commitment to the teacher-scholar model. Here, faculty members engage students using inclusive, applied learning environments and student-centered teaching methods, while encouraging discovery and critical thinking through community engagement, interdisciplinary experiences and research.
Established in 1998, VITAL serves as hub for innovative, evidence-based teaching and learning initiatives and fosters academic excellence through its client-centered support of faculty as teacher-scholars.
