The Georgia Conference on College & University Teaching is going platinum! This year marks the 20th anniversary of the conference. Since 1993, thousands of educators from all 34 University System of Georgia colleges and universities, as well as many other schools in the Southeastern region, have participated in this interdisciplinary conference. The conference is designed to provide college and university faculty the opportunity to discuss and share experiences and innovative teaching techniques. The conference offers concurrent sessions on cutting-edge issues in pedagogy and higher education in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere. There are also opportunities for participants to network with fellow educators.
Participants report they have learned many new ideas they were able to bring back to campus, and have been energized by interacting with a collegial community of educators invested in excellent teaching.
