Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs

Annual Conference

Each year, the AGLSP Annual Conference brings together representatives of the Association’s member programs, students, and alumni to share ideas and discuss the latest issues in Graduate Liberal Studies.

This year’s conference meets October 10 - 12, 2022 in San Antonio, Texas at the beautiful Hotel Contessa on the famed Riverwalk.

The 2022 conference theme is Biblio-TECH-a: Reading the Past, Performing the Present and Writing the Future.

Thank you to all of our Conference Sponsors for providing financial support!

Welcome!


Dear AGLSP Conference Participants and Attendees,


On behalf of the Association and its Executive Board, welcome to the 2022 AGLSP conference, live and in person in San Antonio! It is great to be back out on the road and get a chance to connect with students, alumni, faculty and directors from across the country.


After two fascinating virtual conferences, we are back together LIVE. Enjoy this chance to re-connect with colleagues, talk to students about their studies and their goals, and just immerse yourselves in the interdisciplinary liberal arts in our workshops and panel sessions.


We will again have a day of workshops for directors but are going to do things a bit differently as we re-emerge out into public and share things we have learned from the pandemic that might help us all better serve our students with our unique and robust programs. The ideas will flow fast and everyone should expect to take home some helpful concepts for program management and student advising. Every year the AGLSP workshops send me back to Penn with a few new things up my sleeve that I use to fend off the finance office or better position a student to complete their degree.


As we did last year, our amazing home office at Rice and our AGLSP Board will manage operations. Many of you may be presenting or moderating and we thank you for putting yourselves forward and contribute this year! We will continue to make it 3 great days but have continued to refine our program to enable all of you to grab more time for those informal conversations that ultimately prove valuable even as the conference continues to be a place to celebrate Graduate Liberal Studies with traditional workshops, presentations and events.


Thanks for braving a still challenging travel environment and being part of the 2022 San Antonio Conference. I am looking forward to seeing and speaking with many of you during this great annual meeting.


Sincerely yours,


Christopher Pastore, Ph.D.

President, AGLSP
