WELCOME

The Lilly Conference Series provides opportunities for the presentation of the scholarship of teaching and learning in higher education. We invite administrators, graduate students, and faculty to join us at a Lilly event to exchange ideas and build a repertoire of skills that can be put to immediate use.

"The Lilly Conference is described as a “collaborative community of scholars sharing, discussing, critiquing and reflecting upon improving teaching and learning” and that is exactly what one encounters during the 3-day session: a group of like-minded folk who are truly interested in becoming better teachers. Unlike other conferences where attendees are often expected to just “sit and listen”, Lilly is different with most of the break-out sessions requiring some level of participation so that one leaves not only with new materials that can be implemented immediately into the classroom but also hands-on experience in how to use them."
