About the Conference

The Science and Mathematics Teaching Imperative (SMTI) in partnership with the Network of STEM Education Centers (NSEC) is now seeking proposals for presentations for the SMTI/NSEC 2016 National Conference, June 8-9, at the Hotel Contessa in San Antonio. The conference will focus on centers engaged specifically in improving undergraduate STEM education, and/or involved in STEM teacher preparation and connection of the undergraduate experience with community efforts and broader impacts in STEM. The conference is open to representatives from campus STEM Education Centers or Centers for Teaching and Learning that have a STEM agenda, or those who work closely with these centers. We also invite faculty and administrators engaged in improving STEM teaching and teacher preparation from APLU institutions.
