"I see our role as supporting the growth and
development of our learning community
towards ever greater excellence."

Bill Epperly, Ph.D.
Director, Center for Learning and Teaching

As the Director of the Center for Learning and Teaching (CLT) at the Adler School of Professional Psychology, I see CLT’s role as supporting the growth and development of the Adler School’s learning community towards greater excellence. To that end, I work with faculty, staff, and students to develop and deliver programming in areas that range from best practices in pedagogy to interview skills and coaching in research methods.

My research interests are in the application of integral theory to the fields of education and spiritualty. I am the faculty advisor to the Adler School’s Psychology and Spirituality Student Organization and lead integral spirituality workshops and study groups.

I believe that personal achievements and scope of influence can be limited by our core beliefs and established habits. It is my hope that the CLT can provide resources to enable each of us to take the next step towards fulfilling and exceeding our academic and professional goals.

Please e-mail or call me (312-662-4000) if you have questions or would like more information.
