On Friday, February 26^th from 10am to 4:00 pm, the Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation invites USM institutions to send representatives to explore new ideas, discuss challenges, and share good practices for guiding and assessing general education.

The purpose of this convening is to bring together ATAC, CPFD, and the CAI Faculty Fellows to discuss how student success initiatives can be developed, sustained, and expanded by making creative use of available resources. Participants will explore academic affairs’ role in student success, brainstorm near- and long-term strategies for ensuring sustainable and scalable change, and discuss ways in which Center for Academic Innovation can help.

The Information Technology in Teaching and Learning Conference brings faculty research findings on the use of technology to enhance the teaching and learning process to the campus community. The annual conference is sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs, the Faculty Information Technology Committee and the Information Technology Division at Coppin State University.
