TLT Group: Lilly Director's Roundtable: What Makes Lilly Conferences Different




Friday Jan. 20, 2:00pm EDT... Free to all
Guests:
Milt Cox, Ray Purdom, Laurie Richlin, Todd Zakrajsek

The 5 annual Lilly Conferences on College & University Teaching have long earned their reputation for providing excellent resources for understanding and improving teaching and learning in higher education.   For over thirty years, teacher-scholars from across the U.S. and internationally have gathered to share insights and recommendations in these events.  Each conference provides a balance of scholarly research, practical guidance, collegial support.  The directors shape each conference to provide a context of long-term goals, long-standing truths, and new research in which presenters and participants discuss the most pressing teaching/learning questions and challenges of the day.  Most featured speakers and other session presenters participate in these conferences from start to finish - extending their relations with colleagues they know well and building new connections.

Join Steve Gilbert in a discussion with the current Directors about their perspective on teaching and learning in higher education as shaped by their interactions with conference presenters and participants.  We’ll explore the Lilly Directors’ views on how participants can make the most of these conferences - the value of attendance by teams, achieving effective mixtures of research scholarship and community building.

Dillard University Reminder: Federal Requirements for Attendance Monitoring



Dear Dillard University Faculty Members:

Instructors are requested to submit the Spring Semester "No Show Rosters" to the Office of Records and Registration by, 5:00pm, Thursday, January 19th. These rosters identify students that you indicated who have not shown up for any class sessions this spring.

For this spring semester, attendance will be monitored for the class meetings this week. Students who have not attended any class session by the report date, 5:00pm, Thursday, January 19th, are to be reported as No Shows and their financial aid may be reduced or cancelled as a result of your report.

If a student has started late as a result of "late registration" or has been attending after the required attendance date, please do NOT report the student as a No Show. A student reported as a "No Show" may ask to have you acknowledge his/her attendance if s/he believes her/his attendance was incorrectly reported. Please contact the Office of Records and Registration for the process on incorrectly reported students.

To report a no show, indicate that the student has not attended any class sessions this week on the class rosters. It is imperative that you provide these rosters to the Office of Records and Registration, 5:00pm, Thursday, January 19th.

About the Saturday Science Academy:
The SSA is designed to improve minority student access to careers in science and engineering. The objectives of the project are to: 1) develop skills in the creative expression of scientific and mathematical ideas; 2) provide activities in the technical use of the computer to develop quantitative and analytical problem solving skills; 3) provide exposure to the scientific method in a laboratory setting where discovery and heuristic methods are utilized in observing, classifying and analyzing physical phenomena; 4) motivate and develop positive attitudes toward science, mathematics and engineering through direct exposure to role models; 5) improve precision and power in oral and written communication skills; and 6) establish coalitions between the university and public community organizations including the church to form a broad-based approach to solving the problems of the under-representation of minorities in science and technology.
