The Center is designed to support faculty at the University of Alaska Anchorage, including its Community Campuses, in order to showcase and promote innovations in teaching and research and advance a community of scholars.
CAFE offers a wide spectrum of workshops, forums and assistance to faculty in teaching excellence, research, assessment, civic engagement, classroom success; student retention, and special support for new and adjunct faculty.
It also sponsors “town square” events which share UAA faculty expertise with the broader Anchorage and Alaskan communities; offers information and referrals about grant opportunities and awards; a library of materials of interest to faculty; a small lounge; temporary work space for faculty; a computer laboratory for improving skills in distance technology and more.
