Lilly Conference
Lycoming College faculty are asked to please consider offering a proposal for a presentation at the Lilly
Conference held at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio). This well established conference promotes good
teaching and invites presentations that communicate excellence in teaching ideas.
The Conference is held in November of each year and proposals usually must be submitted
in June.
In past years, Fred Wild, Ed Henninger, Janet Hurlbert, Darby Lewes, Kurt Olsen, and Arthur
Sterngold have made presentations. Samplings of contributed papers and proposals are
available for review from Janet Hurlbert.
Please contact Charles Mahler if you are
interested and willing to further explore participation in the Lilly Conference.
Pennsylvania

Each summer for the past several years, Lycoming College
has sent two faculty members to the State System of Higher

Pennsylvania Summer Academy has been held in recent years at
Millersville University in July and/or August, and features
workshops and presentations on topics such as:
- Classroom assessment techniques;
- Active learning strategies;
- Cooperative learning concepts;
- Problem-based learning;
- new ways syllabi can be improved to benefit learners.
In recent years, Michelle Briggs, Kathleen Chamberlain, David Haley,
Susan Ross, Phil SPrunger, and Rich Weida have attended, and should be glad to
talk about their experiences.
