Thank you, Knoxville: Resources and Information from the National Conference

We want to thank everyone for another truly wonderful CCHA National Conference! We enjoyed your presentations and scholarship, and we loved the sights and sounds of Knoxville, which even included a Pride parade at our doorstep on Friday. Knoxville truly is a dynamic and diverse city! Please be sure to check out the link below for more on opportunities and information from our three amazing Friday plenary speakers and others. We’ll be in touch with more CCHA events and opportunities in the coming months, and we can’t wait to see everyone next year at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon!
