Teaching strategies expert Mark Morvant, a professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry, will be appointed Oct. 1 as the executive director of the Center for Teaching Excellence, as long as the OU Board of Regents approves his appointment at its September meeting, according to an OU press release. <\/p>\n
Morvant will work with Michele Eodice, associate provost for academic engagement, to embed writing strategies within disciplines across the campus and increase the use of other high-impact instructional techniques, according to the press release. <\/p>\n
