Spring Teaching Conference at CMU

The 2009 Faculty Conference on Teaching, Learning, and Civic Engagement will be held Sunday, May 17 - Tuesday, May 19 at the Comfort Inn & Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.

All faculty members are expected to be scholars within their disciplines, teaching from a base of relevant research and effective practice. Through this practice we provide a solid foundation from which the next generation of scholars is educated. No less should be expected of the concept of teaching and learning.  There is a vast body of literature related to effective teaching practices and methods to enhance the process of learning. This conference is comprised of faculty presentations based on scholarly teaching with a primary mission of sharing documented methods to enhance student learning.  Please join us as we learn from each other and further the development of scholarly teaching and learning in our colleges and universities. This year's plenary speakers include John Dirkx, L. Dee Fink, and Tamara Rosier.
