Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to attend and participate in the eighth annual Provost's Teaching and Learning Symposium at UMBC, which will take place on Friday, September 27, 2024, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the University Center.

Call for Poster / Demo Presentations
This year we are soliciting abstracts/applications to present either a poster or a demonstration. Posters should describe projects designed to enhance or assess students' learning or success at UMBC. Proposals for demonstrations of a teaching tool designed to foster student learning are also welcome. Digital tools or digital displays of tools in use are encouraged. All tool demos should also be accompanied by a basic poster that announces for viewers the tool and its purpose.

To submit your abstract, please complete this Google form by Friday, August 2. Proposals will be screened for appropriateness to the Symposium and the author who submits the form will be notified by Friday, August 9 if their submission has been accepted. Further instructions about preparing and setting up posters and demos will be sent to presenters in late August. Please note that poster authors are responsible for printing and paying for printing of their posters. Tentatively, posters should be posted between 9-10 a.m. before the poster/demo session begins at 10:00 a.m.

General Information
This Symposium, part of the Hrabowski Innovation Fund initiative, will bring together UMBC faculty and staff to discuss transformative learning experiences. This year's Symposium will feature breakfast, a poster and teaching tool demonstration session, themed interactive exploration spaces, lunch, and a keynote presentation.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to your application!

Best,
Kerrie, Jennifer, and Sarah
