NACTA 2025 Conference Call for Workshop Abstracts Due November 1

NACTA is excited to welcome workshop abstract submissions for the NACTA 2025 Annual Conference to be held June 2-5, 2025 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The 71st Annual NACTA Conference will serve as a venue for faculty and graduate students in agricultural, environmental, natural, and life sciences to share their scholarship of teaching, innovative teaching and advising ideas, and other relevant teaching and learning information.

Abstracts are reviewed and selected by the EITI Committee and a representative of the host institution planning committee.
