Lilly Conferences on College and University Teaching - Bethesda Hyatt Regency; June 2 – 5, 2011

Colleagues:

For over 30 years, Lilly Conferences on College and University Teaching have provided professional opportunities for the presentation of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. This is an interdisciplinary national conference. The 2011 overarching theme Evidence-Based Learning and Teaching reflects the philosophy that our approaches to learning and teaching should be based on scholarly activity.

Plenary presenters for the June 2 – 5, 2011 conference are Bob Boice, Claire Major, Norm Vaughan, and Todd Zakrajsek.

A draft schedule-at-a-glance is located at the following address:
