AAC&U Integrative Learning Conference The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) invites you to join us for a national conversation on fostering students' abilities to integrate learning—across courses, across disciplines, over time, and between knowledge and practice. NASPA is a cooperating sponsor for Integrative Learning: Creating Opportunities to Connect. This conference will feature approaches to integrative learning in a variety of contexts and from a wide range of institutional types. The program is designed to present unique conceptualizations about how students learn; signature pedagogies for nurturing habits of integrative learning; and discussions among leading campus scholars, researchers, and practitioners about ways to advance integrative learning across and beyond the campus.
