Faculty Engagement
Academic Senate
The Academic Senate at Cal State LA fosters faculty, staff, and college dean participation in University policy making. The Senate is a representative body that acts for the faculty, provides for faculty planning and consideration in the development of policy, and ensures regular communication between faculty and administration in policy matters.
The Emeriti Association
The Emeriti Association of Cal State LA is an organization dedicated to enhancing the status and condition of the University's emeriti faculty, and to strengthening emeriti faculty ties to the University. It supports and encourages the University's policy of "fostering an active continuity of relationship with emeriti."
CETL
The Center for Effective Teaching and Learning promotes teaching as an area of practice and scholarship for all faculty, in fulfillment of professional growth and the larger university mission. It also offers academic technology support to maximize the integration of the University's education tools.
