LillyConferenceTravelFunds

October11-13,2023 https://www.lillyconferences-mi.com/

Each year, the Thompson Center for Learning and Teaching invites faculty interested in attending the Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching in Traverse City to apply for travel funding. Awards are $1,000, used first to cover conference registration and then some additional travel costs that have been incurred.

The Lilly Conferences are noted for their excellence in featuring a wide array of topics pertinent to university teaching presented by faculty scholars representing all disciplines from campuses around the world. The conferences are structured to provide ample opportunity for interaction with fellow attendees to share ideas about learning and teaching. This year the conferences are based on the ongoing theme of “Advancing Teaching and Learning.”

Limited funding is available; preference will be given to pre-tenure faculty members, first time attendees, and/or conference presenters. In accepting the award, attendees agree to write a summary reflection upon which they share key insights and take-aways from the conference. These summaries will be posted on the TCLT intranet.

All tenure-track, clinical track, and lecturers (with an ongoing appointment) are eligible to apply.
