2026 CELT Fall Teaching Conference
In a season of uncertainty in higher education, how can we most effectively nurture both learning and well-being? This conference, The Heart and Science of Teaching, will highlight faculty and student mental health while exploring strategies to cultivate emotionally engaged classrooms with motivated students that thrive amid change.
Sarah Rose Cavanagh, this year's keynote speaker, is a psychologist, professor, and Senior Associate Director for Teaching and Learning at Simmons University. She teaches classes on affective science and mental health, researches the intersections of emotion, motivation, and learning, and provides educational development for faculty.
