Do you want to share your scholarly research with the world? Have you written a story that you want everyone to read? Come join us on Thursday, January 25, for a day of learning about academic and non-academic publishing from publishers, editors, agents, other authors, and NSU faculty and staff. You will not want to miss this opportunity to meet editors and reps from publishing houses including Elsevier, Emerald, IGI, Clarivate, IEEE, SAGE, Cambridge University Press and more. You can attend in person or online. Complimentary breakfast and lunch will be served to In-Person attendees.

The Learning and Educational Center recently hosted a two-day virtual conference that showcased a variety of NSU educators presenting a wide array of topics. The theme for the conference was, “Connect, Engage, Inspire,” and it gave NSU faculty an opportunity to share their knowledge and practices with other educators at the University. Presentations covered teaching strategies, technology tools, BEDI practices, student engagement, and more. We are pleased to share a full playlist of all conference presentations.
