Fall Conference is next week!

Fall Conference takes place next Thurs., Aug. 24, 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m., with breakfast beginning at 8 a.m. Space is limited so be sure you save your spot. Registration closes Fri. Aug. 18 at 5 p.m.

This year’s Fall Conference will center on Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We will start the morning with a welcome by President Richardson, followed by the unveiling of our ADEI institutional strategic plan. After the opening session, we encourage you to attend concurrent sessions to engage in an array of diverse activities, concepts, and discussions; all focused on ADEI (please see the full list of sessions below). This intentional focus on ADEI will illuminate events and initiatives across campus and create a shared experience that will inspire and motivate you to help further our institutional antiracist commitment.

Lunch will be an excellent opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, introduce yourself to new colleagues, share your session experiences, celebrate our Tiger Service Awards, and welcome in the new academic year together as a CC community!
