Registration Now Open! 

The Eberhard Center is under construction, and that means we are shifting locations for this year's 32nd Annual Fall Conference on Teaching and Learning to the L. William Seidman Center. With that comes some restrictions on how many attendees we can accommodate in the Seidman Forum. One easy thing we can all do to ensure those who want to attend get to attend is combat the culture of the no-show. We admit being guilty of signing up for events and then forgetting we registered, deciding we don't actually want to/am unable to go, or simply thinking no one will notice if we don't show up. We notice. This also isn't a cultural phenomenon limited to Pew FTLC events.

So, we challenge you as a community to take this opportunity to practice living the mantra; if you sign up, show up.

Registering means you are committing to attending the event. We understand emergencies arise, and if they do we simply ask you let us know you are no longer able to attend so we may enable others to attend.
