The Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy “showcases the best pedagogical practice and research in higher education today.” It should be no surprise, then, that Roanoke College mathematics professors Adam Childers and Dave Taylor regularly present their work at this conference, hosted by the Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research (CIDER) at Virginia Tech. This year, on 2/6/14, Adam and Dave presented a poster on “Fostering Community Inside and Outside the Classroom,” a critical component of our strategy for continued growth in the mathematics program. Attendance at such conferences helps to spread the good word about Roanoke College, and gives our faculty access to new ideas and colleagues who can help us improve.
