ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
Participants will explore ways in which collaborating with local partners can inspire students with learning that is immersive, applied, and connected to the world. Such partnerships extend beyond dual enrollment and provide access to enriching experiences that can shape students' world views and sense of identity and belonging.
