Description

This event will go on as scheduled despite the delayed campus opening.


Please join us for an abbreviated fifth annual Provost’s Teaching and Learning Symposium! This symposium, part of the Hrabowski Innovation Fund initiative, will bring together UMBC faculty and staff to discuss transformative learning experiences.

In light of the unfortunate cancellation of the Symposium in October, this abbreviated Symposium will include only the poster session and keynote presentation. The concurrent sessions that were scheduled for the 2018 Symposium will either be highlighted in the FDC's Spring programming and/or scheduled for the sixth annual Symposium in September 2019.

Instructional Technology will also be holding their annual TechFest event on Friday, March 1. Registration for TechFest is now open! We encourage you to attend both events and spend your Friday celebrating teaching, learning, and instructional technology at UMBC!
