Join us for Columbia College's first Teaching & Learning Summit!  

Our first Teaching & Learning Summit will feature renowned speaker and author, Dr. Saundra McGuire, author of Teach Yourself How to Learn and Teach Students How to Learn. We are inviting our campus community, local community members, students and educators, as well as partner colleges from our local region to join us for learning from Dr. McGuire (and each other) about metacognition (how our brains learn!) and key strategies that will transform our learning and teaching to improve student success.

We've designed this summit to have something for everyone and meaningfully apply directly to your role as a life-long learner and educator. There are 3 tracks - one for students, one for student peer educators/mentors/tutors, and one for faculty, staff and community educators. Find detailed information regarding the schedule below and register for the 'track' and sessions you are interested in attending:
