Great Ideas for Teaching and Learning Summit 2026

The Great Ideas for Teaching and Learning Summit is an annual opportunity for educators across campus to gather in community to focus on a timely topic in teaching and learning. The theme for the 2026 Summit is “Reflective Teaching, Responsive Learning” and will take place on March 27th, 2026.
