Join us for the 30th Annual FALCON Conference on Friday, September 26—a fully virtual, FREE event designed to foster meaningful conversations and share practical strategies for excellence in teaching.

FALCON provides the highest quality personal and professional development opportunities to part-time and associate faculty members from diverse institutions of higher education around the world through networking, guest speakers, and expert panel discussions.

As such, FALCON is open to any non-tenured faculty teaching in higher education both nationally and internationally. Beginning in 2019, FACET has collaborated with the AAC&U’s initiative Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) Indiana to present the conference.

This year’s theme, “Teaching with Purpose: Supporting Learners in a Changing World,” continues our tradition of bringing educators together for growth and reflection.

The full conference schedule is now available! This year’s program features a keynote address, Purposeful Teaching in an Uncertain Age, by Laura Cruz, Research Professor at Penn State’s Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence. Dr. Cruz will explore how educators and students can cultivate a shared sense of purpose. Drawing on psychological and philosophical models of futures-thinking, she’ll offer strategies that connect our present teaching with the possibilities of tomorrow.
