Learning Communities Association Webinars

The LCA is currently accepting webinar proposals for Spring 2020. Webinars can focus on assessment, best practices, co-curricular activities, peer mentoring, faculty involvement, special populations, or other relevant topic. Please consider sharing your expertise with your fellow LC practitioners.
