A hearty welcome to all of you as you! We're excited to see you as you arrive here on campus from your respective parts of the country. Hope your travels have gone well, and we look forward to a great conference!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380317649829823293.post-33143082617687929532012-06-14T17:23:00.000-07:002012-06-14T17:25:06.152-07:00CLAC 2012: Going green with conference bags!We're excitedly making our final preparations for your arrival in Walla Walla. As you prepare to travel, we have a "green" announcement: <b>there will be no CLAC 2012 conference bag.</b> (But do rest assured, you will be getting CLAC 2012 swag.)<br />
<br />
Instead of the CLAC 2012 conference bag, we have a fun activity to propose to you. <b>We invite you to bring your favorite conference bag from a past conference!</b> This could be a classic CLAC bag, but any conference bag is welcome. Give that bag sitting in your closet a chance to shine again!<br />
<br />
With the "leap of faith" that conference attendees will take us up on this activity and bring their favorite bag, we plan to photograph people with their bags, then show these photos as part of the slideshows that we will show during the conference. If per chance you really don't have a bag, or forget it, or really want a bag when you get here, we do have a very limited supply of (first come first serve) bags from past IT conferences that our IT staff has donated and can give you-- simply inquire at the registration desk.<br />
<br />
We are very much looking forward to your arrival, hopefully with your classic conference bags in tow!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380317649829823293.post-16854658575545850372012-06-13T14:23:00.000-07:002012-06-15T14:24:48.659-07:00For those staying on campus at Prentiss Hall...<a href="http://clac2012.whitman.edu/p/lodging.html">Here are some instructions</a> for you if you're planning to check-in or out early/late.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380317649829823293.post-16275638785637205222012-03-09T15:49:00.000-08:002012-03-09T15:48:30.180-08:00Welcome from Whitman College!Welcome
to the website for the 2012 annual conference of the Consortium of
Liberal Arts Colleges. CLAC brings together from across the United
States information technology professionals dedicated to advancing the
values of a liberal arts education.<br />
<br />
The
theme of the 2012 CLAC conference, <i>Fermenting Grape Ideas: Transforming
Learning in the Liberal Arts</i>, plays off of the robust viticultural
influence in the Walla Walla Valley where Whitman College is located.
Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines the word ferment as a being in a
state of agitation or intense activity. While that definition might
conjure up negative connotations, fermentation as a process is about a
controlled transformation of an organic compound. In that spirit, we,
at Whitman College, are excited to host this years conference and get
together with our colleagues in an environment where we can work
together to ferment great ideas that can lead to a transformation of
learning.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
