1. MCPA Fall Conference and Graduate Fair 2010
The 2010 Fall Conference theme, Drive to B'More, was developed with the Maryland Higher Education Professional in mind. First, it centers our annual conference around offering more opportunities and first rate quality to our MCPA members. Second, the theme challenges us to evaluate how our efforts are impacting the success of today's complex and diverse student populations. How can we do more for our students, how can we better develop our emerging professionals, how can we be more for ourselves, our campuses, and our professional organizations? Attendees should note that our theme is in alignment with that of the upcoming 2011 ACPA Convention in Baltimore, Maryland "B'More: Your Baltimore Experience- Simply More."
