Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I am happy to invite you to the 5th annual Teaching Professor Conference. Once again this year we are planning an event that will inform and inspire college teachers. The pre-conference programs, concurrent workshops, and plenary sessions described here tackle many classroom challenges from large classes, to using technology to promote learning, and to successfully incorporate writing into classes other than English.

The 800-plus participants at the conference last year, plus colleagues who have attended previously have provided the kind of feedback that enables us to keep improving the conference. We are especially excited about our plans to have a small group of students attending and participating in this conference. The number and variety of venders attending the conference continues to grow, allowing us to connect participants with great resources on teaching and learning.

If you attended last year's conference in Atlanta or a previous one, we would love to welcome you back. We work hard to keep the conference program evolving so that every year offers new ideas, insights, and information.

If you haven't yet attended, I hope that you will consider attending this year. So far these conferences have proved to be inspiring, energetic events that renew and invigorate the commitment to teaching.

Plan to join us for this great event!

Sincerely,

Maryellen Weimer, Ph.D.
