OUR MISSION
The mission of the Lilly Conferences is to provide a forum to share and model a scholarly approach to teaching and learning that reports quality student learning outcomes while promoting professional development of faculty.
ABOUT US
For nearly 40 years, Lilly Conferences have provided opportunities for the presentation of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Conference participants are made up of faculty and administrators at various stages in their academic careers representing nearly every discipline found in higher education. At each conference, we offer a variety of 30- and 60-minute concurrent sessions, traditional plenary addresses, facilitated round table discussions, and poster presentations that address contemporary issues and include proven, innovative pedagogies.
Tracks and subthemes vary by year, but generally include: Assessment; Classroom Technologies; Course (re)Design; Diversity/Inclusion; Engaging/Motivating Students; Service Learning and Teaching Online.
HOSTED BY THE ITLC
The Lilly Conference-Bethesda is hosted by the International Teaching Learning Cooperative. The ITLC was created to bring faculty members together to advance student learning.
