Welcome to the second annual Georgia Gwinnett College Teaching, Learning, and Research Symposium. It is undeniable that the last two years have been a tumultuous time across the world. As circumstances initially thought to be temporary settle into foreseeable permanency, the question becomes ‘how do we move forward?’ Although we must answer this question in every area of our lives, we gather together now to focus on ‘how do we move forward as educators, scholars, and researchers?’
This year’s theme of Aftermath: Higher Education in a pandemic-altered world, provides us with an opportunity to discuss moving forward. Over the span of two days we will share in a wealth of works featuring the latest pedagogical methods and new and evolving research. For the first time, we are joined by undergraduate researchers who are engaged in a variety of scholarly pursuits.
We are delighted to offer a hybrid format this year, and we look forward to engaging with everyone virtually and in-person. The Symposium continues to draw participants from all over the map. Again we have strong participation from multiple institutions in the state of Georgia, along with participants from Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, and Mississippi, and for the first time we have gone international with participants from Peru, India, Thailand, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
Enjoy yourself and enjoy each other as we spend time refreshing, renewing, and learning. We are glad that you are here, and we hope to see you again next year as we move forward together.
