CAFE Vision
The CAFE’s vision is to be a catalyst for educational innovation and growth at COCC. We aspire to create a vibrant learning community where faculty members are continually inspired to refine their pedagogical practices, promote equity and inclusion, and cultivate an environment where every student can thrive.
CAFE Space
All faculty are welcome to use the CAFE's physical space in LIB 023 (Library lower level) for work, small group meetings, or simply to hang out and relax with a fresh cup of coffee or tea! You can also peruse the CAFE's Library collection and Faculty Book Exchange.
