Greetings, learning community colleagues! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deadline to submit proposals for the National Learning Communities Conference (NLCC 2021)<\/strong> is a month away! This year\u2019s event will be held virtually on October 21-23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We encourage you to consider submitting a proposal about your learning community (LC) work on topics ranging from best practices \u2013 including subjects such as integrative assignments, peer mentors, and faculty development \u2013 to research and assessment on LCs to LC administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our theme for this year\u2019s conference Cruzando Fronteras, Creating Communities<\/em> is all about how learning communities help build bridges across traditional disciplinary and departmental boundaries. The past fourteen months have presented various challenges to the ideal of \u201ccommunity\u201d that is so fundamental to our shared mission. Please consider adding your voice to a growing conversation about the importance of LCs in times of disruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We welcome proposals for traditional informative\/panel presentation, interactive session, facilitated dialogue discussion, or 15-minute quick talk formats. All NLCC 2021 sessions will be live online to allow for the synchronous sharing and construction of knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The link to submit a proposal to NLCC 2021 can be found on our conference website here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/nlcc.tamucc.edu\/nlcc_2021_proposal_submission.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
