Expanding the NEST Souvenir

Expanding the Nest is a signature initiative from Kennesaw State University’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), designed to empower educators in creating environments that nurture student success. NEST stands for Nurturing Environments through Scholarly Teaching, and this initiative provides faculty and staff with practical, research-informed strategies to enhance teaching effectiveness, foster meaningful student-faculty interactions, and build supportive learning communities.

Participants can explore a curated menu of actionable practices and earn micro-credentials that recognize their commitment to student-centered teaching. Whether you're new to these concepts or already implementing them, Expanding the Nest offers a flexible, affirming path to deepen your impact as an educator at KSU.
