ABOUT
Our world is changing at an ever-increasing pace. As community college educators and leaders, we must understand the changes and the challenges our students and communities are facing and forge new paths forward. It is the only way we will meet our mission to give everyone the opportunity to develop the right skills so lives and communities are strengthened. It is not just what we do, it is who we are.
The New Horizons Conference will focus on Education Transformed: Classroom Prepared; Workplace Ready. We will gather at The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center on April 10-12, 2024, to explore and learn together what it means to be the change agents our colleges, communities, and students need. Sessions will focus on Academic Innovation, Classroom Excellence, Workplace Preparation, Removing Barriers, and Engaging Students. There will also be sessions to dig into technological advancements like AI.
Don’t miss this opportunity to increase your knowledge while you connect and collaborate with your brilliant and talented colleagues from across the Commonwealth!
