Collaboration Conference RFP Extended to 9/25

CALL FOR PROPOSALS AVAILABLE NOW FOR FEBRUARY 2010 CONFERENCE ON "ASSESSMENT FOR THE CHANGING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT"

Session proposals are due September 25, 2009 Assessment of student learning and educational programs is more critical than ever now, as institutions scrutinize more closely the return from ever more limited resources. What's more, assessment today has to take into account learning and working environments characterized by accelerating change. The primary goals of this conference are, first, to explore the implications of changes in the learning environment for how colleges and universities frame their approaches to student assessment, and second, what new opportunities exist in our rapidly changing working environment to strengthen assessment practices and make them more efficient and productive. We invite proposals for concurrent sessions that address the conference theme by disseminating and modeling effective practice or promoting stimulating dialogue, inquiry, and problem-solving on this theme.

Conference takes place February 19-20, 2010 in Bloomington, Minnesota To download an electronic copy of the full CFP for this conference, please visit: http://www.collab.org/programsservices/conferences/CFPFebruary2010.pdf .

Come see Sean Phillips - Master Illusionist

SOARing Nightlife Presents: Sean Phillips - Master Illusionist

Are ready to see some MAGIC!?!?! Do you wanted to be mystified by incredible ILLUSIONS?!?!?

Well Sean Phillips, Master Illusionist, will be performing at Augsburg on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00 pm in the Student Lounge.

Sean specializes in modern, powerful illusions designed for intelligent adults. While many people think of illusion as sawing women in half or making people vanish from fake-looking boxes, Sean's performances are different. He has left behind the world of trick boxes and fancy props, preferring instead to work with ordinary objects and pure showmanship. He focuses on creating genuine connections with people whenever he performs. His illusions are 100% unique, and every day he strives to take his performances to new levels of impossibility.

This performance is totally free- so be there are be square!
