July 14-19, 2013 at University of Connecticut – Confratute was created by the Neag Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development in 1978, when Joseph Renzulli and Sally Reis decided they wanted to host a summer conference focused on Enrichment Teaching and Learning. They didn’t want it to be just any conference, though. They wanted to combine the best qualities of a CONference with a summer instiTUTE and add a whole lot of FRAternity in between. For one week every summer, educators converge on the beautiful flagship campus of the University of Connecticut in rural Storrs, CT. Confratute offers a jam-packed schedule of events to engage, inspire, and rejuvenate educators.
CGA has provided 3 scholarships to Confratute over the last 2 summers.
