About Learning Culture and "The Center"

Learning culture refers to the shared values and practices within an organization that shape, promote, and reflect the organization's commitment to continuous learning, growth, and adaptation. In a thriving learning culture, individuals are encouraged and supported to acquire new skills, knowledge, and perspectives. Learning is seen as a collective, ongoing process, not a one-time event. An organization with a vibrant learning culture prioritizes professional development, reflection, and innovation while valuing curiosity and the ability to learn from failures as well as successes. The department of Learning Culture & Innovation along with its web site, The Center for Learning Culture (The Center, for short), was created in 2023 with these principles in mind.
