Graduate Teaching and Learning Conference

Monday, August 18, 2025
9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
In-person | Memorial Union

Each fall semester the Office of Teaching and Learning, in partnership with the NDSU Graduate School, offers a Graduate Teaching and Learning conference. This conference is open to all Graduate Teaching Assistants who want to learn best practices of teaching and learning. The theme of this conference is “active-learning.”

Develop confidence and skills to lead your class and lab sessions with the highest level of student involvement in learning.

All conference attendees will receive a digital certificate of attendance.

Encourage Your Graduate Assistants to Attend

NDSU instructors should encourage their graduate assistants to attend as well as to keep the conference date available for their GAs to attend if they choose to. This conference is a vital link for your GAs to learn NDSU policies and procedures as well as best practices for teaching in a college classroom.
