The UW System is pleased to announce a new grants program that offers support for discipline-related, collaborative activities. Activities funded by the Discipline-Based Consortial Activity Grants may be systemwide or regional collaborations centered on a particular project or series of activities. Funding may be sought to invite a guest speaker, host a workshop or series of workshops, or organize other activities that will build inter-institutional relationships, engage participants, and encourage them to continue to work as a consortium. Projects may be conducted by faculty members, teaching academic staff, departments, colleges, or institutions. FTE are eligible to apply.
Advanced registration is requested.
The keynote speaker is Stephen Brookfield, who will talk about discussion as a way of teaching. Professor Brookfield is a Distinguished Professor at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and three-time winner of the Cyril D. Houle World Award for Literature in Adult Education. Other sessions will feature UW-Green Bay faculty who have won teaching awards. The conference is open to all UW faculty at no charge.
