Provide leadership to CUL in its commitment to effective instruction and comprehensive information literacy, through providing professional development opportunities, planning for allied initiatives, and advising CUL on strategies and goals.

End of semester Events
In December, PSEC Instruction hosts an end-of-semester event featuring trainings, presentations, refreshments, and discussion. Every May, PSEC Instruction co-organizes an end of semester event with the Reference and Outreach (R&O) and Liaison Program Steering committees. PSEC Instruction uses these outlets to highlight a variety of instruction methods being taught, in addition to conducting workshops and training on how to improve instruction. Topics might include: assessment, teaching with technology, threshold concepts, and curriculum development. Instructors working on new projects are invited to share their work with the larger group.
