Hello! I'm Dr. Tori Austin, a United States Air Force veteran, and I have joined the Center for Innovative Teaching & Learning (CITL) team as a Senior Instructional Designer. I hold a Ph.D. in Instructional Technology and have lectured at institutions in the Midwest and Florida.

Passionate about empowering educators, I specialize in enhancing teaching and learning by leading engaging workshops, dynamic online training sessions, and offering personalized faculty support. My mission is to equip instructors with best practices for utilizing learning technologies, ensuring they confidently integrate innovative tools to create student-centered learning experiences. I also take pride in providing just-in-time support, making faculty success seamless and impactful. With a strong commitment to collaboration and continuous improvement, I strive to make technology work for educators, not the other way around!
