1997 UTC Instructional Excellence Retreat:
Creating and Maintaining Learning Environments

The Instructional Excellence Retreat is a time when faculty from across the campus come together to explore teaching and learning issues. Registration is free and lodging and meals are also provided. The only thing you pay for is transportation. The retreat is offered in the relaxed environment of Watts Bar Resort and time is allotted for reflection and sharing with faculty from across disciplines. Space is limited and is available on a first come, first serve basis. To save your space, call Sandy Zitkus, x4597.
