Lilly Conferences: Evidence Based Teaching and Learning

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. 

Teaching Professor Conference

The Teaching Professor Conference is the place for educators who are passionate about the art and science of teaching. It’s an exhilarating three-day event focused on the latest research-based, classroom-tested best practices to enhance your knowledge and drive ever-better outcomes for the students you teach.

Funding Your Conference Travel

The university offers several grant programs to help fund conference travel for faculty.

The Teaching and Faculty Support Center provides annual grant funding to strengthen teaching excellence and advance the university’s teaching mission. These grants can be used for conference travel.
As part of the Provost's commitment to supporting faculty development and enhancement, full-time tenure or non-tenure assistant and associate professors are eligible to apply for travel assistance if they are presenting original scholarship as a primary author at a national/international professional conference or creative activity at an exhibition, performance, or other related professional venue.
Available funds can be awarded to faculty to support travel for pre-program domestic site visits or for domestic academic conference presentations related to a service learning course.
