The primary mission of the Master Teacher Initiative is to enhance the quality of teaching within the College of Business at Colorado State University. More specifically, the Master Teacher Initiative:

• Creates an environment where faculty across functional areas can share common teaching interests and concerns.
• Contributes to the creation of a culture where the scholarship of teaching is valued and appreciated.
• Symbolically signals to faculty the importance of quality teaching within the College’s tripartite mission of teaching, research and service.
• Assists in the socialization of new faculty by providing an open forum where new and existing faculty can actively interact.
• Provides tangible evidence of continuous improvement efforts in teaching for accreditation purposes.
