The Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching Now Accepting Proposals for 2012 Conference

The Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching-DC is now Accepting Proposals for the May 31 – June 3, 2012 Conference http://lillyconferences.com/dc


The Deadline for Proposal Submission is November 28, 2011.


For over 30 years, Lilly Conferences have been offering an opportunity for individuals from a variety of disciplines to gather and discuss important issues related to teaching and student learning. Attendees share ideas, debate issues, and form lasting friendships.


Past Lilly participants have raved that the conference experience is “exceptional,” “fabulous,” and “worth the trip (a comment by participants from Saipan, Australia, Brazil, and across the US and Canada)”.


Please submit your proposal and share your professional work. Proposals are blind reviewed by college and university faculty and selected presentations may be submitted for publication in the conference proceedings.


Conference Themes this year include:
Advancing Active Learning
Creating a Community of Learners
Preparing Future Faculty
Teaching Responsibly (and Well) with Technology


As budgets are tight, consider the following:
- Registration fees are reasonable
- No preconference workshop fees (included for free in the conference registration)
- Discounted rates for co-sponsoring institutions
- Hyatt Regency guest rooms at only $114 per night (adjacent to a Red Line Metro stop with easy access to the Mall and DC attractions)


For the third year in a row the conference will be in the same area and also once again the first weekend in June; returning this year to the Hyatt Regency, Bethesda. Bethesda is a family friendly community claiming over 200 restaurants, several parks, and trails within walking distance of the hotel.


The Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching – DC Area begins Thursday at 1:00 PM and runs through Sunday at 11:00 am. In 2011, we showcased over 200 presenters from all over the United States and increasingly throughout the world. You may submit a proposal for a concurrent session, poster session, or round table discussion. If you have any questions about session format, please see our website
