ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï

The 20th annual Celebrating College Teaching Conference takes place Oct. 24 and 25, at the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Student Center. The University Teaching Counsel’s annual conference focuses on the four pillars of a ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State undergraduate curriculum — knowledge, insight, responsibility and engagement.

Many favorite activities will be returning:  the Provost’s Breakfast at 8:30 a.m.; followed by refereed round tables; invited round tables, including the Emeriti Round Table; panel discussions, poster displays; the President’s Luncheon; and the Glenn W. Frank Lecture. The conference culminates with a dessert reception at 2:30 p.m., to honor recipients of the Distinguished Teaching Awards and the Outstanding Teaching Awards and the wealth of teaching excellence at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State.

All conference events are free and open to all those who teach or support teaching at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï. Instructors are urged to save the date and plan their course syllabi so they may attend.

The University Teaching Council has a call for proposals out now for any ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State faculty members or graduate teaching assistants who are interested presenting at the conference. To learn more, visit www.kent.edu/utc/index.cfm. The deadline for proposal submissions is June 30.
