Call for proposals: Deadline Jan. 29, 2027
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 2027 is “Expanding Horizons.” Proposals for breakout sessions and poster presentations are invited from faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students.
