COF welcomes all faculty, staff, graduate students, and fellows to attend the annual COF Teaching and Learning Conference on Friday, March 22, 2024.

The conference will take place on Emmanuel College’s campus, in the Fenway Room, located at 400 Fenway, Boston, MA. The morning session will take place fully in-person, and the afternoon sessions will take place virtually via Zoom. In-person attendees are encouraged to stay with us in the Fenway Room for live group viewings of the virtual sessions. The conference will feature presentations, discussions, and mini-workshops.

This year’s Colleges of the Fenway Teaching and Learning Conference builds on Flower Darby’s Keynote delivered to the COF community at MassArt in October 2023, by focusing on “The Three Es of Teaching with AI: Ethics, Equity, and Empowerment” by highlighting achievements, strategies, and techniques from our own COF faculty and staff as it relates to the rapidly evolving landscape. Registrants will receive the link to Flower Darby’s recorded presentation.
