Burton Morgan
The NCA Institute for Faculty Development, also known as the “Hope Conference,” is a week-long conference that offers professional development to faculty who teach undergraduates. Participants select two seminars and attend those sessions daily to learn new pedagogy, develop research interests or explore emerging topics with top scholar-teachers in their field. Attendees gather to hear keynote presentations throughout the week. A scholar-in-residence facilitates discussions of scholarship and addresses research trajectories. In this intimate setting, faculty from across the country collaborate, network and build relationships in conversations and activities with fellow colleagues and seminar leaders. The institute provides inspiration as well as opportunities for personal and professional enrichment.
