The Edward C. Moore Symposium on Teaching Excellence is one of IUPUI’s oldest public events, dating from the years of IUPUI’s inception. Named in honor of Edward C. Moore, former dean of the faculties, the symposium provides an opportunity for the university community to gather around to discuss academic issues of interest to all.

The IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning is accepting proposals for the 2010 Edward C. Moore Symposium on Teaching Excellence. The event will take place on Thursday, March 4, 2010. We hope you will consider submitting a proposal, and we encourage you to share this invitation and information with your colleagues.

In keeping with the long-standing tradition of gathering around a common academic issue, the Edward C. Moore Symposium will continue to offer a variety of sessions that emphasize innovation and best practices in teaching.

Moore Symposium brings the IUPUI campus community together to examine teaching excellence and instructional strategies employed in various disciplines to encourage student learning.
