Spark Teaching Symposium

April 29 - 30, 2025
Spark is a symposium dedicated to teaching in higher education that provides a platform for educators to exchange insights, discuss successes, address challenges, and showcase current teaching initiatives.
Both days boast a diverse array of presentations, panels, roundtables, and workshops covering topics such as AI, collaboration, retention, wellness, assessment, experiential learning, and more.
Thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal for this year's symposium! Proposals for Spark are currently being vetted. The website will be updated with a schedule once all accepted proposals have been confirmed.
