MCAPD Conference

The Maryland Consortium for Adjunct Faculty Professional Development (MCAPD) is holding it's annual conference on October 3, 2009 at the Community College of Baltimore County, Catonsville.

MCAPD conferences are designed to rejuvenate and inspire faculty and administrators to try new teaching and learning strategies. Meeting new colleagues will expand your Maryland network and provide opportunities for future collaborations. These conferences enable adjunct faculty to offer presentations and workshops to share experiences with peers across the state and to serve as evidence of professional activity in the higher education community.

CSM will pay the registration fee for any CSM faculty or staff member who registers by September 25th. You can get more information about the conference at: http://ola.aacc.edu/mcapd/conference.html. Please do NOT follow the instructions on their form, though. Instead, simply let me know you want to go with an e-mail telling me you want to be registered (ssubocz@csmd.edu). That way, we can just register everyone at once and write one check.

We will work out some carpools later, too, so CSM can reimburse our carpool drivers.
