Dear colleagues, 

 

Congratulations to you all for the incredible hard work, dedication, and passion brought to the 2025-2026 academic year. In this past year of challenges, your commitment to each other, our students, and to meaningful teaching and learning has made our CapU community stronger.


As we all begin to plan for the year ahead, the CTE team remains committed to walking alongside you. Whether you are looking to connect and learn with colleagues, create a new assessment for your class, set up your eLearn site, or redesign your program, we are ready to support you.  

 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at any time this summer. We would love to chat.
