Keynote Speaker
Relationship-Rich Education In (and Beyond) Our Courses
Peter Felten, Assistant Provost for Teaching & Learning, Elon University.
Decades of research demonstrate that the quality of student-faculty, student-staff, and student-student interactions are foundational to engaging, inclusive, and meaningful learning. Our courses -- whether face-to-face, online, or something in between -- can and should be relationship-rich environments that enhance learning, motivation, and belonging for all students. Drawing on some 400 interviews with students, faculty, and staff across U.S. higher education, this interactive session will explore practical, research-informed approaches to cultivate educationally purposeful student-faculty and student-student relationships in (and beyond) our courses.
Peter Felten is executive director of the Center for Engaged Learning, assistant provost for teaching and learning, and professor of history at Elon University. He works with colleagues on institution-wide teaching and learning initiatives, and on the scholarship of teaching and learning. In his teaching, Peter aims to help students think critically and write clearly about the connections between the lives of individual people and larger themes in history. As a scholar, he has published six books about undergraduate education including most recently (with Leo Lambert), Relationship-Rich Education: How Human Connections Drive Success in College (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2020). He has served as president of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (2016-17) and also of the POD Network (2010-2011), the U.S. professional society for educational developers. He is co-editor of the International Journal for Academic Development, on the advisory board of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), and a fellow of the John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education, a foundation that works to advance equity in higher education.
