Register to Attend the 2024 Instructional Development Institute: Thriving in Higher Education (Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024)

Registration is now open for UWGB’s 2024 Instructional Development Institute: Thriving in Higher Education, a one-day, free online conference scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024. UWGB faculty and staff are invited to attend this virtual event which will include live presentations, panels, and workshops highlighting the ways our university community can thrive. Get a sneak peek into this year’s keynote address by acclaimed author and educator, Dr. Kevin Gannon, as he reflects on the conference theme:

“Let’s not mince words: these are almost overwhelmingly difficult times to be in higher education. After (barely?) surviving multiple years of ‘pandemic pedagogy,’ we find ourselves on a landscape marked by faculty burnout, student disconnection, fiscal shenanigans, and an external climate that seems to get more foreboding by the day. How, then, is it possible to bring any meaningful sense of hope to our work in teaching and learning? And how might we imagine a context where we’re not simply surviving, but where we and our students are actually thriving?”

Explore these questions proposed by Dr. Gannon in his keynote address, “Hopeful Teaching in Less-than Hopeful Times,” at the 2024 IDI. Visit the CATL blog for more details on Dr. Gannon’s address and workshops and register today to attend!
