Across the Curriculum Conference
Across the Curriculum is a free one-day virtual conference which supports the intellectual and professional development of area education professionals devoted to progressive education and student success in the core curriculum. Instructors, administrators, and even students have very valuable insight which can be advantageous for others. This conference allows this knowledge to be presented and shared through presentations and workshops, allowing us learn from one another.
