Increase understanding of the concepts of the Learning College as a framework and inspiration for affecting institutional change to improve student learning, performance, and success.
Provide a forum for the exchange of innovative processes and approaches to transforming undergraduate education and improving institutional student outcomes
Facilitate participant interaction and development of new networks of colleagues who support Learning College concepts.
