Conference theme: Celebrating Our Work: The Creative & The Practical

We have to be! That's how we solve problems and continue to provide students with exceptional work-integrated learning experiences. We are also a very supportive and sharing group of professionals. And this is even more important at times, like the present, when budgets and resources are strained.
