Faculty have several opportunities for funding to attend professional conferences. Review the details for each event and submit applications by the stated deadline. For questions, email the Office of Faculty Development at facdev@austincc.edu.
Lilly-Austin Conference
The Lilly Conference for College and University Teaching and Learning has provided a platform for sharing research in teaching and learning for more than 35 years. Austin has hosted the conference for the past eight years as part of the national and international Lilly series.
Participants represent a wide range of disciplines and career stages, from postdoctoral scholars to emeritus faculty. The conference maintains the theme of “Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning.”
Scholarships are available for Austin Community College (ACC) faculty.
National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD)
The National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development offers programs and resources focused on professional growth for community and technical college educators. NISOD is known for its annual International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence, as well as its webinars, publications, and Excellence Awards.
Texas Community College Teachers Association (TCCTA)
The Texas Community College Teachers Association represents educators across all teaching disciplines. The association’s annual convention focuses on excellence in teaching and advancing education in Texas community and technical colleges.
ACC covers the annual convention registration fee for faculty. Attendees must be TCCTA members. ACC does not cover travel costs unless additional funding is secured from the faculty member’s department.
