Beginning in Honors is a workshop designed for new honors directors and deans or those leading or creating new honors programs and colleges.

This workshop starts off in a large group, and then is broken down to small groups, focused upon specific institutional types -- large universities; medium-sized institutions; small public, private, and faith-based colleges; and two-year schools.

New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park is a U.S. National Historical Park in the Tremé neighborhood of New Orleans, near the French Quarter. It was created in 1994 to celebrate the origins and evolution of jazz.

Most of the historical park property consists of 4 acres within Louis Armstrong Park leased by the National Park Service. The Park provides a setting for sharing the cultural history of the people and places which helped to shape the development and progression of jazz in New Orleans. National Park Service staff present information and resources associated with the origins and early development of jazz, through interpretive techniques designed to educate and entertain.

 Post-Conference Workshop: "Play, Performance and Improvisation: Tools to Maximize Creative and Developmental Pedagogy" with Lois Holzman

 This hands-on workshop will introduce you to an approach to teaching and learning that taps into the human capacity to play, pretend, perform—in other words, to be “ourselves” and “not ourselves” at the same time. Based in a synthesis of performative psychology and social approaches to learning, improvisational and unscripted learning crosses academic disciplines, gives teachers new ways to deliver content, and engages students intellectually and emotionally in new ways. Experience the practicality, power and fun of building the ensemble, performing as expert, playing with theory, and much more.

This post-conference workshop is limited to 30 participants, and will cost $150 to attend.
