October 28 - November 1, 2009

You are enthusiastically invited to be part of POD’s annual conference in Houston, Texas, October 28 – November 1, 2009. Please join us in exploring the theme of Welcoming Change: Generations and Regeneration. Our conference theme embraces the changes our different generations see across the nation, on our home campuses, and in our students; themes that include, but are not limited to:

   Generational differences
   Emerging technologies
   Embracing learner-centered teaching paradigms
   Sustainability issues
   Reinvigorating established teaching and learning centers
   Creating new centers and integrating them into campus culture
   Facing the challenges of downsizing and limited budgets

While known for bluebonnets, longhorn cattle, Buddy Holly, and Tejano music, Texans are especially known for their warm hospitality. In fact, Texas derives its name from the Caddo First Nations people in east Texas; they used the term ‘tayshas’, meaning friend or ally. It is thus in a friendly spirit of change and regeneration that we look forward to hosting the 2009 POD Conference, where we can greet old friends and meet new colleagues. Join us in Houston as we move forward: Welcoming Change: Generations and Regeneration.

Kevin Barry, Conference Co-Chair
Debra Fowler, Conference Co-Chair
Shaun Longstreet, Program Co-Chair
