What is the “Lilly Spirit?”“It’s more than a conference on teaching in higher
education, it’s more than leaving professor egos on the doorsteps, and it’s more than a retreat. Lilly helps us to scrub the obscuring dirt off the panes, so we can both see in and out, and let the light come in and go out.” -Dr. Louis Schmier
