Teaching & Learning Conference

Nova Southeastern University

Wednesday, November 2 - Thursday, November 3, 2022 (Virtual Event)

Theme: Connect, Engage, Inspire

As educators, we share a profound, common goal of preparing our students for a world in which they can thrive and be successful. Students and educators alike navigate through change and uncertainty, and feelings of isolation and disengagement can set in. Yet, we can make many strides toward an even stronger NSU teaching community! We can connect and support each other by sharing our knowledge and practices at LEC’s first-ever Teaching and Learning Virtual Conference. 

The free conference will take place virtually on Wednesday, November 2–Thursday, November 3, 2022 and is open to all NSU educators. Attendees can expect to hear from and connect with other NSU educators covering various, relevant topics related to higher education as it affects today’s students.

Now more than ever is the time to connect with our students.

Now more than ever is the time to engage our students.

Now more than ever is the time to inspire our students.
