The 2012 NITLE Summit
Summit Agenda
Attendees will gather in four working sessions, focusing on a single strategic issue facing liberal arts colleges, its implications for advancing teaching and learning, and the opportunities and challenges it creates. The goal of the Summit is to identify frameworks that will enable liberal arts colleges to address key issues moving forward, including developing viable, strategic responses that solve problems and take advantage of new opportunities. Attendees will engage each issue with an eye towards defining measurable outcomes to be achieved.
Four concurrent working sessions form the core of the Summit. An extended lunch and closing reception allow participants to bridge discussion between working sessions. This year, the closing reception will be held in conjunction with the poster session of the NITLE Symposium.
