We’re one week out from the start of the 2022 AACC Annual. I cannot wait to see you in person in New York. If you’ve looked at the schedule, you’ve probably seen that we have more than 100 amazing sessions scheduled. So many community college practitioners want to share how they have navigated – and are still navigating – all the upheaval we’ve experienced. They’ve implemented innovative new programs and technology so they can continue to advance the community college mission. I hope that when you leave AACC Annual, you feel inspired and motivated.
