A
statewide conference will be held on August 10-13,

teams of one full-time and four part-time faculty members from each college
attending. While colleges can select their team of representatives, we highly
encourage colleges to bring people that are committed to training other faculty

required to attend the entire conference. It is anticipated that the attendees
will develop a community of faculty who they can keep in touch with each year.

you have any questions, please contact your Academic Senate presidents.
