The Center for the Enhancement of Teaching is proud to have hosted the visit of Dr. Parker Palmer to the UNI campus on September 20, 2000. Dr. Palmer is a writer, teacher, and activist who works independently on issues in education, community, leadership, spirituality, and social change. He travels widely giving workshops, lectures and retreats. 

In 1998, based on a survey of 11,000 faculty and administrators, Dr. Palmer was named as one of the thirty "most influential senior leaders" in higher education and one of the ten key "agenda-setters" of the past decade. Along with over 100 essays and 10 poems, Dr. Palmer has recently published widely read books such as The Active Life (1999), The Courage to Teach (1998), and To Know As We Are Known (1993).
