We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for our 2013 conference. Full-time (nine-month) faculty members from all colleges are invited to submit proposals to transform courses or programs.

Selected faculty members will receive $800/person grants for full participation and completion of track-specific deliverables (see links below). The conference will culminate in a poster presentation on Thursday morning in the Library Commons and will end at noon. Those who cannot attend all sessions on all four days are welcome to participate in as much of the conference as they can but will not be eligible to receive a grant. This includes those who must miss to complete university business.

Note: The conference dates this year are May 6 - 9, the week following the end of the semester. Please contact Eric Main, coordinator of the conference committee, at 407-823-3544 if you have general questions regarding the conference.
