Call for PT&LS Poster/Demo Proposals (Due August 1)
For the Provost's Teaching & Learning Symposium on Sept. 19
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to attend and participate in the ninth annual Provost's Teaching and Learning Symposium at UMBC, which will take place on Friday, September 19, 2025, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the University Center.
Call for Poster/Demo Proposals
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. Demonstrations of a teaching tool designed to foster student learning should show digital tools or digital displays of tools in use, accompanied by a basic poster that announces for viewers the tool and its purpose. While students can be co-authors on posters, a faculty or staff member must be the first author and should be attending to present with the student(s).
To submit your abstract, please complete the application form by Friday, August 1. Proposals will be screened for appropriateness to the Symposium and the author who submits this form will be notified by Friday, August 8 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 8:30-9:00 a.m. before the poster/demo session begins at 9:00 a.m.
General Information
This Symposium 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
