Proposals are now being accepted to present or preside during the October 2008 Conference. All proposals to present a session, workshop, or panel must be submitted online through the Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference website at:  http://www.itc.csmd.edu/studentsuccess.  Late or incomplete proposals will not be considered. Complete contact information is required for all presenters. Additional presenters cannot be added or substituted after submission of this proposal without the recommendation of the Conference Coordinator. Only persons whose names appear in the Conference Program are official conference speakers.

Presentations may involve single or multiple presenters and must not promote or sell a commercially available product or service. Sessions may include active attendee participation, lecture, or panel discussion. Presentations should focus on examples, model projects, or topics that are related to the following areas of interest:

  • Teaching approaches and strategies
  • Technology
  • Student preparedness
  • Student Services
  • General interest
    •  
    Proposals are reviewed and rated by the Program Committee with attention to the appropriateness for community college educators and/or staff and overall topic balance of the program. Proposals from faculty and other professionals currently engaged in two-year college education are especially encouraged.
    Each proposal will be acknowledged by an email receipt. If you do not receive an email receipt within a few days after submission, please contact the College of Southern Maryland's Innovative Teaching Center immediately (lindyg@csmd.edu). Letters of invitation to present at the conference are issued in June.
    When proposals have more than one presenter, the first person listed becomes the official contact who will receive all correspondence regarding the proposal and must agree to keep the copresenter(s) informed. All presenters are required to register and pay a reduced conference registration rate (50% off).
