The theme of the 2008 conference continued the dialogue about effective teaching and learning from the 2007 conference and expanded the discussion to include the "Creative" aspect of the teaching and learning process. The conference was an exciting mixture of interactive workshops, presentations by featured speakers, concurrent sessions offered by faculty from Oakland University and the University of Windsor, poster presentations, and opportunities to network.

Those of us at Oakland extend our gratitude to our colleagues from the University of Windsor. We look forward to opportunities to collaborate with you and look forward to next year's conference at the University of Windsor.
