The conference features three tracks of workshops and a fourth session where we will debrief and plan with our cohorts and President Nick Nissley.<\/p>\n<h3>Who should attend?<\/h3>\n<p>Attendance is required for full-time faculty and staff. Adjunct faculty are encouraged to attend and should sign in to receive an hourly stipend for their time. Supplemental staff should check with their supervisors before attending.
