Opportunities for External Professional Development

The Center for Teaching and Learning encourages faculty to participate in teaching and learning conferences offered locally. We do have limited funding opportunities available for faculty to attend local conferences.

• SOCHE Conferences - The Strategic Ohio Council of Higher Education hosts several conferences on teaching and learning annually.
• Lilly Conference - An annual conference held at Miami University in Oxford, OH. Many faculty attend disciplinary conferences and apply for funding through their departments and/or the CTL. We recommend signing up for the Conference Alert website below to receive updates about pedagogically related conferences.
• Conference Alert - a website you can use to help you find conferences to attend.
• Assesment Institute in Indianapolis - The nation's oldest and largest event focused institute focused on assessing and improve higher education.
