Lilly-Austin Conference
The Lilly Conference for College and University Teaching and Learning formed over 35 years ago with the purpose of providing a platform for presentations in the scholarship of teaching and learning. Austin has hosted the conference for the past eight years. The Lilly-Austin Conference is part of the Lilly series of conferences held in different cities nationally, and internationally. The Lilly-Austin Conference is not only a wonderful opportunity to learn and develop as educators, but also a great opportunity to network.
Participants come from across the United States, representing nearly every discipline found in higher education, including faculty and administrators. They are at various stages of their academic careers ranging from post doctoral positions, adjunct faculty, new faculty, mid-career faculty, seasoned faculty, and even emeritus faculty. The conference maintains the same overall theme: “Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning.” Learn more.

What are the faculty at ACC saying about the Lilly Conference?
“As an adjunct faculty member with another full-time job, it is often difficult to connect with others in the college on a meaningful level, but after the Lilly Conference, I feel much more a part of the ACC community. And I feel less isolated in the work that I’m doing here.”
Upon completion of the conference, scholarship recipients will share their knowledge and demonstrate how they benefited from attending the conference. Options include writing a blog post, sitting for a video interview, and/or presenting a lightning talk to fellow faculty. Additionally, all participants will complete an ACC post-conference survey that will be distributed soon thereafter.
The deadline to apply has passed.
