A Week-Long Conferernce
Professional Development for Faculty Who Teach Undergraduates
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 or explore emerging topics with top scholar-teachers in their field. Attendees also gather for 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 and build relationships through conversations and activities with fellow colleagues and seminar leaders. The institute provides inspirations as well as opportunities for personal and professional enrichment.

William Rawlins
Dr. William K. Rawlins is the Stocker Professor in the School of Communication Studies at Ohio University. He has published extensively about the unique challenges and dialectical tensions of communicating in friendships across the life course — with his books, The Compass of Friendship: Narratives, Identities, and Dialogues (2009), and Friendship Matters: Communication, Dialectics, and the Life Course (1992) each receiving the Gerald R. Miller Book Award from the Interpersonal Communication Division of the National Communication Association in 2012 and 1994 respectively. His ongoing research addresses the role of friendships in accomplishing the well-lived life for individuals and communities, and the role of dialogue and narrative in co-authoring viable and edifying identities with others. Recently, Bill has been embodying musical performances and compositions to address the aesthetics of interpersonal and relational communication, music as communication, and the musicality of social life and interpretive inquiry. Bill teaches courses in interpersonal and relational communication; communication theory; embodied, ethical and aesthetic perspectives on human communication; dialogue, performance, and experience; interpretive and ethnographic inquiry; communication and narrative; Gregory Bateson and communication theory; and communication in friendships across the life course. He has received numerous teaching awards at Purdue University and Ohio University.
