Announcing the 2025 Rutgers Active Learning Symposium

Mark your calendar. The eighth edition of the Rutgers Active Learning Symposium will be held on Thursday May 22. This year's keynote guest will be Allison Posey. Allison earned a degree in Mind, Brain, and Education from Harvard Graduate School of Education and is the author of Engage the Brain (ASCD, 2018) and Unlearning (Cast, Inc., 2020). Allison will help us explore what is known about the brain and apply it to the design of leaning experiences. A morning lecture will be followed by an interactive workshop in which attendees can experience first-hand how learning happens in the brain through an engaging, memorable simulation.

These keynote sessions will be complemented by various presentations, workshops, and panels from faculty and staff at Rutgers and beyond. If you would like to lead a session, please complete a RALS Proposal Form to let us know what you have in mind. Proposals for 25-minute presentations, 50-minute panels, and 50-minute workshops are being accepted now until Monday March 17.

If you would like to be a part of this year’s selection committee – which involves reviewing proposals and meeting to choose sessions – please email the ALC leadership.

We look forward to seeing you all in May!
