On October 9-11, 2008, The Teagle and Spencer Foundations co-sponsored a conference on how student learning can best be advanced. The event took place at the Washington Duke Inn, in Durham, North Carolina, and over the 3 days of the meeting, the over 120 people there—a mix of national higher education leaders, senior campus administrators, faculty members, and others—reported on and sought to advance efforts to improve student learning. We have made available on this website some of the key documents and presentations from the meeting.
