The annual Teaching and Learning Symposium provides an opportunity for the UW–Madison teaching and learning community to share best practices, celebrate accomplishments, and discuss new learning and teaching practices and theories in a forum dedicated to enriching the student learning experience.
Our theme for 2026 is “Cultivating Connection.” Proposals are invited from faculty, staff, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for breakout sessions and poster presentations.
