Lilly-East Conference Grants
for Graduate Students
Due February 29 (extended deadline)
The Lilly Conferences combine interactive workshop
sessions, discussions, and feature presentations, with opportunities
for informal discussion about excellence in college and university
teaching and learning. They bring together faculty and graduate
students from across disciplines and types of academic institutions.
CTE staff, along with University of Maryland faculty and graduate
teaching assistants, have attended this conference for a number of
years. It is an outstanding opportunity to meet others from the
Mid-Atlantic interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning
and to discuss effective strategies for undergraduate education. The
2008 Lilly East Conference is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16
through Friday, April 18, 2008 and will be hosted at the University
of Delaware.
CTE, with support from the Dean
for Undergraduate Studies, awards twenty-five CTE Lilly-East
Graduate Student Conference Grants that will cover the costs of
attending the conference. Priority for these grants will be given to
students who have submitted a conference abstract and/or participate
in one of CTE’s graduate student programs or in departmental
initiatives in teaching and learning.

February 15, 2008).
