New England Consortium of Academic Support Professionals (NECASP) Conference
December 5, 2016

NECASP will be holding its annual one-day conference and has designated time for the presentation of scholarly “Works in Progress.” Our topic this year is “ASP Tackles new ABA Standards; ASP’s Indispensable Role.” We will gather in Springfield to share and explore ideas with ASP colleagues on issues surrounding the plethora of new ABA standards. We are all required to comply with new bar pass, learning outcome, experiential learning and many other standards. We welcome a broad range of proposals – from presenters in the New England Region and beyond – and at various stages of completion – from idea to fruition! If you wish to present a Work in Progress, the proposal process is as follows:
- Submit your proposal by October 11, 2016, via email to Kandace Kukas at Kandace.kukas@law.wne.edu
- Proposals may be submitted as a Word document or as a PDF
