We are excited to welcome keynote speaker Phillip (Phill) Dawson. Professor Dawson is recognized for his expertise in assessment in higher education with a focus on feedback and cheating. His keynote will address the power of assessment in SoTL. Professor Dawson will also conduct a workshop for attendees entitled "Writing SoTL That Other Scholars Will Want to Read." Participants should bring an idea that they want to develop (e.g., a paper in progress, an innovation that requires resources, an idea that needs promoting to colleagues) as well as a paper and pen or laptop.
Melanie Hamilton, Director of the Jane and Ron Graham Centre for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, University of Saskatchewan.
We also welcome Dr. Melanie Hamilton, Director of the Jane and Ron Graham Centre for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at the University of Saskatchewan.

Dr. Hamilton is Chair of SoTL Canada and the VP Canada for the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSoTL) and will discuss her experience building an institutional culture of engagement in SoTL.
