| Join the Center for Teaching and Learning to welcome Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Dr. Hrabowski leads a campus widely recognized for its culture of embracing academic innovation and inclusive excellence. His keynote, entitled “Institutional Culture Change: Academic Innovation and Inclusive Excellence,” will focus special attention on building a diverse culture of innovation and excellence in STEM fields and the critically important process of institutional culture change. Under Dr. Hrabowski’s leadership, UMBC has produced a number of distinctive initiatives to support and enhance teaching and learning – from infusing entrepreneurship and civic engagement into the curriculum to establishing an academic innovation fund to support faculty as they redesign courses and develop new approaches to help students succeed. |

In addition to Dr. Hrabowski's keynote, we are excited to feature two plenary speakers:
|
Michael Yard of the Purdue School of Science and recipient of the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching at IUPUI will deliver a talk entitled “Why it Matters—Enhancing Student Learning and Interest by Connecting Course Topics to Issues of Critical Local, National, and Global Importance via Intense Real World Experiences.”
|
Leslie Ashburn-Nardo of the Purdue School of Science and the recipient of the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Multicultural Teaching at IUPUI will give a talk entitled “Multicultural Teaching Increases Student Learning and Engagement: Why We Can (and Should) Try Multicultural Teaching.”
The Symposium will also have three concurrent sessions with 16 presentations, as well as a poster session and an Ignite session (informative and quick - five minute - to-the-point talks) during lunch. There are four concurrent session tracks: multidisciplinary, online teaching and learning, and health and life sciences. Each track features presenters from across the state of Indiana. |

Teaching@IUPUI: Slide Show Presentation Best Practices
Thursday, April 17, 2014 | Online - Adobe Connect Meeting Room | 11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
Register» | Organizer: Terri Tarr and Presenter: Tom Janke
Slide show presentations such as ones prepared in PowerPoint are ubiquitous but not always supportive of learning. In this session, participants will discover evidence-supported slide show presentation techniques that will encourage learning and promote engagement. To make the most of this session, participants should have proficiency with PowerPoint, Keynote or similar slide show authoring tools.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching@IUPUI. Designed for new faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and those looking for a refresher on good teaching practices, the workshops are short, with a brief presentation interspersed with opportunities for interaction and questions. Grounded in current research, the workshops address various teaching topics and provide participants with strategies and resources to make instruction more effective, efficient, and enjoyable. Sessions are scheduled with the time of semester in mind, to keep topics relevant for faculty needs at that time.

Nanotechnology Discovery Summer Camp for High School Students
Application deadline extended to April 18, 2014 | for questions, contact crlstaff@iupui.edu or (317) 274-8877 or visit here
The IUPUI Nanotechnology Discovery Academy (INDA) Summer Camp is a week-long day camp (June 9-13, 2014 or June 23-27, 2014) that provides a unique opportunity for high-school students entering their sophomore, junior, and senior years to explore the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology on the IUPUI campus. Nanotechnology concerns the control of matter in the nanometer scale: one nanometer is one billionth of a meter, or 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. This cutting-edge field is becoming an essential part of science, engineering, medicine, and many other disciplines. The camp fee ($295) covers all camp materials and supplies, and includes daily lunch and the cost of one IUPUI course credit. Need-based scholarships may be available; housing and transportation unavailable.
Participating high-school students will work with world-renowned faculty mentors to:
- Discover innovative technologies
- Gain hands-on laboratory experience
- Engage in research and learning activities
- Earn one college-credit hour
