The University of Tennessee at Martin and West Texas A&M University have partnered to host the Experiential Learning Leadership Institute on March 25-27 at Discovery Park of America in Union City. Dr. Sean Walker, UT Martin associate professor of management, will serve as keynote speaker.
The institute will focus on active, hands-on learning and how it can be applied in classrooms at all levels to improve student comprehension. Registration is $275 for those presenting in a concurrent session, $50 for university students and $75 for area K-12 educators and community participants.
