Welcome
Employee Learning and Development (ELAD) helps build faculty and staff knowledge around student engagement and completion by increasing access to cohesive professional development, and fostering effective communication strategies and systems between all college employees.
You may also recognize ELAD as the eLearning department, as this aligns with the department’s historical and current leadership in online learning support and engagement.
