About this Event
All events will be held at the MCC Institute for the Culinary Arts, Building 22, at our historic Fort Omaha Campus (5300 N. 30th St., Omaha, NE 68111).
Our theme for the 2026 conference is "The Cutting Edge," a prompt we are understanding in two ways. First, the conference will address community colleges as sites of innovation in teaching writing. Second, we will consider how we work as we face the political hostilities of the present moment.
This year's Keynote Presenter is Melissa Tayles, an English Instructor at Metropolitan Community College and a nationally recognized expert on trauma-informed writing pedagogy. She has presented on accelerated learning placement (ALP), and teaching circles, and her work has been published in TETYC.
