To instructors teaching at Elmhurst College this term from Marie Baehr This summer on June 28 and 29 (slight day change from first announcement) there will be a two-day national conference held on the Elmhurst College campus. The conference is focused on the scholarship of teaching and empowering students to learn. I have the funds in my budget this year to cover the registration cost for up to ten Elmhurst College faculty. Since I will be getting a "group rate," in order for my office to cover the registration cost, you would need to let me know of your interest. Additionally, there is the opportunity to present at this conference if your proposal (deadline for submission: March 31) is accepted. This would be particularly appropriate for those faculty who have attended one of the teaching institutes held on campus over the past 18 months. To find out more about the conferences, look at the URL: http://peresearchers.org/ If you would like to be a participant, please let me know by responding to this email or calling 630.617.3060. Thanks.
