INSIDE GGC

The fifth annual Georgia Gwinnett College Teaching, Learning, and Research Symposium, hosted by the Business, Economic, and Applied Research (BEAR) Center, with the support of The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), invites submissions for a hybrid conference to be held Jan. 9-10, 2025.

The conference theme is “Reignite and Renew” and will feature two faculty tracks, Scholarship of Teaching of Learning (SoTL) research and non-SoTL empirical research, along with one student research track. Submissions that align with the theme and other topics are welcomed.

By submitting, authors are attesting that their work is unpublished at the time of submission. Submissions will be double-blind reviewed by faculty with subject matter expertise. Authors will present in a concurrent session format, either virtually or in person. Proceedings are abstract only.

Undergraduate students must have a faculty sponsor, who is familiar with the research and supports submission to an academic conference. The faculty sponsor can, but does not have to be, a co-author; however, the majority of both the research and the presentation should be done by the student.

The submission deadline is Nov. 8, 2024. A 250-word abstract and contact information for all co-authors are needed. Presenter, coauthors and attendees are asked to consider serving as a reviewer. Decision notices will be sent by Dec. 5, 2024. Individuals are limited to a total of three submissions, which includes single and co-authored work. All conference presenters and attendees, except student presenters in the student track, will need to pay the $35 registration fee.
