John M. Clayton Hall Conference Center
University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware

Join faculty colleagues at the Lilly-East Conference on College and University Teaching on April 16-17, 2009 held at the University of Delaware. The 2009 Lilly-East Conference is co-sponsored by the University of Maryland, College Park, and the University of Delaware's Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education.

Lilly Conferences bring together faculty across disciplines and types of academic institutions. Participants learn from research on teaching, best practice, engage in dialogue, and return to their campuses to share what they have learned.

The 2009 Lilly Conferences will highlight how to design, facilitate, and assess learning environments that support and enrich student learning in the 21st century: Millennial Learning: Teaching in the 21st Century. The conference aims to highlight sound pedagogical practice that is grounded in research on learning and teaching and emphasizes practice-based work.

The Lilly Conferences serve as premier forums in the country for demonstrating, modeling, and discussing innovative teaching practice at the university level. Lilly Conferences are retreats that combine interactive sessions, discussions, and feature presentations, with opportunities for informal discussion about excellence in college and university teaching and learning. Internationally-known scholars join junior and senior faculty colleagues to discuss pertinent topics such as incorporating technology into teaching, encouraging critical thinking, implementing collaborative learning, service learning, inclusive teaching, documenting teaching effectiveness, and scholarly teaching.
