BGSU’s annual Teaching & Learning Summit is an opportunity for the BGSU teaching community to spend the day celebrating achievements, reflecting on the past year, sharing best practices for teaching and learning, and fostering future collaborations for both inside and outside of the classroom. Participants can expect an engaging keynote presentation, interactive workshop sessions, networking opportunities, inspiring discussions, and collaborative learning.The theme for this year’s Summit is “Thriving Together: Redefining Success and Well-Being.” This year’s summit will explore how we can foster a campus culture that supports the success and well-being of ourselves, our students, and our colleagues.
