Register for the 18th Annual Fall Faculty Conference

Join CELT for two distinct opportunities to explore how we can flourish so we can promote student flourishing. First in Winona, join a lunch focused on faculty well-being and classroom community. Then in Minneapolis, celebrate our colleagues at a traditional evening dinner, award ceremony, and presentations on engagement and regular and substantive interaction (RSI).

Registered attendees who participate will receive a complimentary copy of The Joyful Online Teacher by Flower Darby while supplies last. While the book draws many of its examples from online teaching, its central insights concern something much broader: how instructor well-being, meaningful relationships, and intentional course design create the conditions for mutual flourishing in every learning environment.

Darby offers a framework for engaging your students through RSI online and beyond. Regardless of your teaching modality, these principles align with Saint Mary’s commitment to human flourishing as a Lasallian Catholic university.

Register for the conference with the following links:

– Winona on October 29th

– Minneapolis on November 12th
