The LACN consortium offers many opportunities for professional development and connection with colleagues who understand the unique opportunities and challenges of providing career development and support to liberal arts college students. As a volunteer-run organization, LACN relies on the contributions of its members to forward this important work.
JOIN A COMMITTEE
LACN has three standing committees, Benchmarking, Professional Development, and Membership, and the Leadership Forum Task Force. Joining a committee is a great way to connect with colleagues doing similar work at other institutions, develop new skills, and pursue leadership opportunities. No invite necessary; pop in to a meeting and check it out! In addition to working on the strategic goals of the consortium, committees provide a space for professional development and sharing of best practices.
