June 22-23, 2026

Five people talk around a poster on "Faculty views on AI" at the 2025 Conference on Engaged Learning.

The annual Conference on Engaged Learning showcases cutting-edge research on engaged learning. Each annual conference features multi-institutional research from a specific Center for Engaged Learning research seminar, invites research updates from past seminar participants and conference presenters, and encourages contributions from other scholars and practitioners studying engaged learning practices.

We invite scholars interested in engaged learning topics (particularly the themes listed below) to join the culminating conversations of the 2024-2026 research seminar on Affirming and Inclusive Engaged Learning for Neurodivergent Students at the 2026 Conference on Engaged Learning at Elon University, June 22-23, 2026. We especially encourage proposals that attend to diversity, equity and inclusion within or across these engaged learning practices.

People gather around a poster at the 2025 Conference on Engaged Learning poster session and reception.

We welcome proposals from undergraduate researchers and student–faculty/staff partners. Student presenters and attendees will have opportunities for meet-ups during the conference.

We are hosting the conference in-person on Elon’s campus.
