2019 CCSC Conference Welcome |
2019 ushers in the 25th year of the CCSC Central Plains Region conference and I am proud that St. Charles Community College (SCC) has been selected to host. Every year that I have attended the conference I have taken back to my classroom something new and exciting to help teach and energize my students. Whether it is finding a new tool or technology or partnering with one of my peers, the conference has something for everyone.
This year’s conference at SCC we will have some exciting events on the schedule, tours of some of our business partners’ facilities, specialty tracks for vendors, students and K-12 teachers to focus in on what interests you most. We will also have a Meet and Greet at the OPO Startup in downtown St. Charles, a technology hub for startup companies in the St. Charles area. All professional papers, panels, tutorials, and nifty assignments go through a double-blind review process. This year we were able to accept 53%. We would like to extend our appreciation to the authors who submitted their work for our consideration and to the highly talented group of reviewers that exerted a tremendous amount of time and effort to review all the submissions. Our conference would not be as remarkable without our National Partners, Sponsors, and Vendors for their continued support of our organizations. Thank you all! Finally, this conference would be nowhere near as successful without the dedication and support from the volunteers and committee members that help support the CCSC efforts throughout the year to bring you this wonderful event. Without their tireless work and dedication, I would not have been able to plan and build a conference this great. This includes the support from past conference chairs. Thank you all for letting me be a pest throughout the year of planning. I hope you have a wonderful time at the CCSC-2019 conference, gain some enlightenment and take back something new to enrich your classroom and research. Best Regards, |
