“The content, speakers, and location of the conference was an overall – EXCELLENT. Having a conference at a location where you can work all day and then be able to play some at night, in a family location, was wonderful. I look forward to developing a presentation of benefit to participants at the next conference. This conference is a must for a range of academics and business practitioners. There was something helpful for faculty, program directors and administrators. I found a nugget in every presentation that has immediate application when I get back to my university. I will bring someone who has not attended before next time. An excellent value for the knowledge gained and conference experience. Well Done.” – Dr. Daniel Butler, Harbert Business School, Auburn University.

“This conference is so very needed and I hope that in two years more people nationally and internationally will be able to attend to share different pedagogical perspectives so that we, as instructions, can teach every one of our students, not just the ones we wish we had in our classes. Our classrooms are increasingly diverse in a number of ways and we have so much to learn from each other, especially those outside the western academic tradition. I am so glad Auburn has decided to put their name and resources behind such an important task in 21st century education. Thank you for an insightful first conference and I look forward to learning even more at the next conference!” – Lillian Nave, UDL Coordinator, Appalachian State University and CollegeSTAR.org.

“Auburn University is to be complimented and congratulated for an excellent professional development conference. The setting and schedule provided the perfect backdrop for the hospitable spirit of collaboration that pervaded the meetings and events. I made great connections, gained valuable insights and returned to my university refreshed, inspired and energized to advance our work in international and global teaching and learning. Thank you!” – Suzanne Gulledge, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“Extremely well-organized and run. Interesting sessions and I loved the conversation starter round table session. It was a great way to meet new colleagues and share ideas!” – Laura McNeill, University of Alabama.
