Post Conference Highlights
Thursday, March 5th, 2009 at the TLTC, and
Friday, March 6th at the Merket Alumni Center
The Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center would like to thank participants who attended the 5th Annual Advancing Teaching and Learning Conference. We had record attendance at our conference workshops on Thursday, March 5th and at Dr. Halpern’s keynote sessions on Friday, March 6th. This conference would not be possible without generous co-sponsorship from the Texas Tech Office of the President, the Rawls College of Business, the Edward E. Whitacre, Jr. College of Engineering, and Wayland Baptist University. Other sponsors include the Texas Tech Honors College, the College of Outreach and Distance Education, the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, and the College and Arts and Sciences. Plans are already underway for next year’s conference and we look forward to continuing this regional event.
Dr. Halpern has generously agreed to make her PowerPoint slides available for conference participants. These materials can be found here:
