On May 1 and 2, the University of Windsor will host the seventh annual Windsor-Oakland Conference on Teaching and Learning.

A special feature this year is the day-long Provosts’ Forum on University Teaching, where 16 panelists from seven universities will offer positive and negative visions of the future of university teaching. The panelists – who range from graduate students to provosts – will focus on teaching and learning now and soon: what they envision, dread, and what they’re doing about it.

Organizers invite proposals until February 28 from instructors, academic administrators, staff and students for the seventh annual University of Windsor-Oakland University Teaching and Learning Conference, May 1 and 2 on the UWindsor campus.

The conference, with a theme of “On the Verge: Debating the Future of University Teaching,” invites attendees to explore varied and contrasting visions of how universities will change, and grapple with scenarios—both radical and conservative—about the future of teaching and learning.

The Celebration of Teaching Excellence, held this year on November 14, has become a featured annual event in the UWindsor calendar, says Alan Wright, vice-provost, teaching and learning.

Students, faculty, and staff are reminded that the seventh annual Celebration of Teaching Excellence is scheduled for 4 p.m. today—Wednesday, November 14—in the CAW Student Centre's Ambassador Auditorium.

The event, jointly hosted by the Office of the Provost and the Centre for Teaching and Learning, will highlight the achievements and initiatives of faculty who have received international, provincial, and campus-wide awards.
