“It was energizing to hear the new ideas provided by the speakers. I realized all institutions/departments, regardless of size and discipline, face the same challenges. Attending this conference helped me to visualize new ways to engage my faculty in creating a positive environment for our colleagues and our students.”
Tracy Rutherford, Professor & Associate Dept. Head, Texas A&M University
