Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach
Founded in 2012, the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach (CTLO) works to build inclusive and evidence-based teaching practices at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels. The CTLO also facilitates interest in STEM among the broader community. Gifts to the CTLO support this vital work and enable Caltech to expand programs that engage the Institute, Pasadena, and Los Angeles communities in STEM, from kindergarten through graduate school and beyond.
