Support for Teaching and Learning
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
As vice provost for undergraduate education, Sonya Stephens leads programs and initiatives in support of outstanding academic experiences for all IU Bloomington undergraduates, including opportunities for students to work with faculty on research and participate in community-based learning and leadership activities.
Well known for their dedication to education, IU Bloomington faculty work as hard in the classroom as they do in research settings.
They provide engaging classroom, laboratory, and studio experiences for their students, and serve as mentors for beginning and advanced learners.
A campuswide collection of units offers support for these endeavors, from consultation in course design and assessment at the individual or departmental level for instructors, to tutoring and study skills classes for students.
Following is a Web directory of IU service and technology units that support teaching and learning on the Bloomington campus. For more information, consult the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.
