UCEA Annual Conference

UCEA's Annual Conference brings together some 800 continuing higher education professionals for sessions addressing broad topics of interest to the profession as well as special sessions and workshops focused on particular areas of interest, including distance learning, quality assurance, leadership, marketing, programming for older adults, and research, to name just a few.

The UCEA 94th Annual Conference will be held in Boston, MA on April 1 - 4, 2009.

Transcending Boundaries

The Conference Planning Committee for the 2009 UCEA National Conference solicits recommendations and nominations for presentations to inform our annual “learning event.” Our program should address important issues and trends in the field of professional and continuing education. We seek thought-provoking proposals that will stimulate discussion and contribute to the on-going professional education of our colleagues.

We especially encourage proposals that integrate the current work of multiple institutions and that draw out general principles of wide applicability. Pay close attention to pedagogy in your planning and seek instructional formats that model best practices and demonstrate active learning. Most sessions are 75 minutes in length. All must provide adequate time for dialogue between the attendees and the presenters.

Please submit a formal proposal using the form provided, or, if you’d like to discuss a possible presentation, send email to our program planning chairperson, Karen_Sibley@Brown.edu, and one of the committee members will be in touch with you.
