CIEL 2023: Sustaining Innovative Education Through Uncertain Times
In keeping with the theme of this year’s meeting, the program features stories about innovative institutions—those whose time has come to an end, those that have undergone significant changes, and those that are more recent start-ups—as well as discussions about emerging challenges and opportunities. Below is an overview of the schedule, which we will be finalizing with presenters in the coming days.
