NCLCA, the National College Learning Center Association,
is the only professional organization devoted
entirely to learning center administration. 

Our conference offers learning center professionals the chance to
receive valuable training, networking, and idea sharing.
Attendees also dialogue about important administrative
concerns like resource allocation and tutor training,
as well as national concerns and flashpoints that affect
our student populations like learning gaps
and economic and gender inequities.

The NCLCA Conference is a Unique Experience

ü      Our conference is known for its hospitality.

ü      Our smaller size allows attendees to meet each other
over meals and at intimate receptions. 

ü      Year after year, attendees overwhelming report that
the NCLCA conference is a welcoming environment—

ü   This conference is a good place for newcomers to get

to know other professionals

ü      Veteran administrators can share
the benefits of their expertise while making new
friends along the way.

This year’s theme, “The Rhythm and Blues of Research and Practice,” reflects our goal of providing learning center professionals an opportunity to share their “rhythm and blues” regarding the research, publication, programs, and services they conduct in their learning centers. 

The concept of “rhythm and blues” provides you an opportunity to share what has worked (“rhythm”) in your center and in your professional development as well as what has not worked (“blues”) and what changes you are planning to make to achieve rhythm in your center and in your professional career.
