Lilly West 2009 Conference Overview

Welcome!

The 21st Annual Lilly-West Conference on College and University Teaching will be held March 20-21, 2009 at the Kellogg West Ranch at Cal Polytechnic State University, Pomona.

Lilly Conferences are retreats that combine workshops, discussion sessions, and major addresses, with opportunities for informal discussion about excellence in college and university teaching and learning. Internationally-known scholars join new and experienced faculty members and administrators from all over the world to discuss topics such as gender differences in learning, incorporating technology into teaching, encouraging critical thinking, using teaching and student portfolios, implementing group learning, and evaluating teaching.

The 2009 Lilly-West Conference will combine Scholarship of Teaching and Learning sessions and major addresses, with lots of opportunities for informal discussion about excellence in college and university teaching and learning.
