2026 Conference on Teaching Excellence: The Fruit of the Spirit

Guided by Liberty’s commitment to Faith and Flourishing, this year’s conference theme, “The Fruit of the Spirit,” invites Liberty residential and online faculty, as well as faculty from other faith-based institutions, to participate in workshops, discussions, and shared reflection on teaching and learning during this half-day event. It will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026. The conference will feature over 100 workshops, roundtables, videos, prayer sessions, academic papers, research posters, and more.

A detailed conference program, including schedule and workshop descriptions, will be provided prior to the conference. Live sessions will be recorded and posted following the conference. In addition to the virtual, synchronous events, the conference provides several pre-recorded workshops, poster sessions, and academic papers. Faculty will retain access to the recorded material all semester.

The conference focuses on academic research, best practices, new strategies or technologies, faith learning integration, and student support services. The Call for Proposals is open until Oct. 15. All residential and online faculty, support services staff, and academic administrators are encouraged to submit proposals.
