This year's conference, Empowering the Whole Student for Success: Mind, Body, and Spirit, will focus on our favorite teaching strategies, recent research, and new ideas that academically empower our students' minds. It will also highlight how to help them assess and improve their mental health and support them holistically. We want to focus on the entire student and how we can help them succeed in every aspect of their lives.

We will have an opportunity for 45-minute concurrent sessions, which will primarily occur on Friday. Then we will also have round table poster/handout sessions on Thursday evening.
