The Center for Engaged Learning brings together international leaders in higher education to develop and to synthesize rigorous research on central questions about student learning. Researchers have identified “high-impact” educational practices – study abroad, undergraduate research, internships, service-learning, writing-intensive courses, living-learning communities, and so on. However, while we know what these practices are, we could know much more about three essential issues: (1) how to do these practices well, (2) how to scale these practices to many students, and (3) how students integrate their learning across multiple high impact experiences. The Center for Engaged Learning: fosters investigations of these and related questions; hosts multi-institutional research and practice-based initiatives, conferences, and seminars; and shares related resources for faculty and faculty developers on high-impact practices for engaged learning.

For nearly 40 years, Lilly Conferences have provided opportunities for the presentation of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Conference participants are made up of faculty and administrators at various stages in their academic careers that come from across the world representing nearly every discipline found in higher education. Our mission is to provide a forum to share and model a scholarly approach to teaching and learning that reports quality student learning outcomes while promoting professional development of faculty. We are committed to creating events that build community among our participants where we share scholarly work, network, and promote collaborations that extends the professional interactions f into lifelong collegial friendships. Effective faculty development requires a community of scholars sharing, discussing, critiquing and reflecting, and identifying how each of us can improve our craft. At Lilly Conferences, every individual is valued for her or his perspective with the belief that all faculty members are life-long learners who benefit from interacting with one another, our students, and our mentors.
