EXCEL AT TEACHING
ATTEND CTE’S 2012 TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS SYMPOSIUM
Thursday, August 16, 2012
New Location: Hughes-Trigg lower level
8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. 
Attend this year’s symposium to share research-based ideas for course design, teaching techniques and assessment tools for all university educators. Program highlights:
Plenary Session – Multiple Disciplines in the Classroom
Breakout Sessions:
Luncheon Speaker – Ron Wetherington, founding Director of CTE
The TES has become a tradition in kicking off the new academic year. Both returning colleagues and new faculty have found it a worthwhile forum celebrating good teaching, sharing ways to improve it, and greeting colleagues from other disciplines whom they will rarely see during the semester. It is also an important part of the New Faculty Orientation program. Registration deadline is Friday, August 10, 2012, but we encourage you to register early!
