25th Anniversary Celebration

Whether you're a first-time participant or have attended in the past, this special 25th anniversary celebration of the Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference is not to be missed! The theme of "Impacting Adult Learners Near and Far" will focus on how both distance technology and classroom techniques can be adapted to meet the unique needs of adult learners more effectively. We'll take a look back at the past quarter century of adult education to see what's changed, what's stayed the same, and what trends are emerging. Plans are underway for keynoter Dr. Joe Levine to facilitate an online dialogue with interested adult educators before the conference, then continue the discussion at the conference. Special 25th anniversary guests will share memories, experience, and perceptions of adult education through the years. Watch for ongoing updates here!
