On behalf of the 2025 ICLCA board, we invite you to submit a pre-conference or concurrent session proposal to be considered as a presenter at the 40th Annual Conference in Rapid City, SD. This year, as in years past, we seek to provide a conference experience that allows our members and guests to learn from one another, develop or deepen relationships, and be celebrated for the amazing work you do as learning center professionals. We’ve added conference session types to increase the variety of presentations and presentation themes that will allow attendees to search presentations based on the theme you select. All of this will enhance the conference experience and provide greater submission options.   

This year’s conference theme is “New Frontiers for Student Success.” Potential topic areas include but are not limited to:

• Integrating AI into learning centers

• Incorporating new technologies into the learning environment

• Strategies for supporting diverse learners

• Promoting professional standards in the areas of administration and management; program and curriculum design, evaluation, and research; 

• Adapting to the changes in higher education

• Accessibility in learning centers

• Acting on learning assistance issues at local, regional, and national levels; 

• Assisting in the creation of new learning center programs and/or enhancing existing programs; 

• Data-informed decision-making/assessment/strategic planning/fundraising 

• Providing opportunities for professional/staff development within learning centers;

• Supporting and celebrating programmatic and/or staff achievements;

• Coordinating efforts with related professional associations and/or campus partners;

• Designing programs that are flexible and inclusive in meeting diverse student needs
