“Very well managed. The Canvas Website was extremely useful as it was a one-stop shop for everything. The sessions were all nicely put together, so there was a broad range of topics we could choose from.”–Shafin Hasan Ali, MiraCosta College, CA

“Each session I attended and participated in was engaging. Each session had research and resources to back up and prod us to continue learning about the topics presented. I thought the Canvas set up was easy to navigate and very useful.” –Ann Brandon, Clovis Community College, CA

“This is a big conference with a small conference feel. The atmosphere was positive, collegial, and helpful. Lots of variety in topics. So many sessions sounded good it was often difficult to choose. Obviously so much thought and planning went into everything!”–Kristie Daniel-DiGregorio, El Camino College, CA

“I loved the great experiential sessions, a terrific conference staff always ready to help, and participants so friendly and willing to share. This conference is what all conferences should aspire to be!”–Marianne Auten, Paradise Valley Community College, AZ
