Flash Sessions: Campus Support for High-Impact Teaching Practices

“Flash sessions” are a new conference model to offer short bursts of information to facilitate networking, exchange, and community. Each session will consist of a 7-10 minute presentation highlighting campus support for high-impact practices, with time for a few questions. We hope it leads to follow-up conversations and planning. Each session offered twice so that participants can take part in two.
