The Teaching Professor Conference
May 31 - June 2, 2013
New Orleans, Louisiana

The Teaching Professor Conference is a place where teachers connect. This conference provides an opportunity to learn effective pedagogical techniques and interact with colleagues committed to teaching and learning excellence. Whether you are a new or experienced faculty member, teaching assistant, adjunct faculty, dean, chair, or provost, you will learn something that helps you expand your teaching and learning efforts. The plenary and conference sessions will renew and energize you … not to mention the nonstop talk about teaching throughout the conference.
If you are concerned about the needs of today’s college students and want to address them and, at the same time, keep standards high and push students to excel, this is the conference for you.

STLHE (Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Educationa) 2013
June 19 - 22, 2013
Sydney, NS

Our conference is inspired by the concept of sustainability and titled "learning to live, learning for life".  For us, this theme encompasses living in an economically, physically, and culturally sustainable way and integrating sustained learning throughout.  We are particularly eager to show you how environmental and educational sustainability connect in CBU's Verschuren Centre for Sustainability in Energy and the Environment, one of Canada's most sustainable university labs.

We have invited two distinguished keynote speakers, Rex Murphy, who many will know as a CBC personality known for his word-smithing and lifelong passion for teaching; and Richard Gerver, who is inspiring teachers globally with his work on educational transformation.
