Call for Presentation Abstracts | Deadline: Monday, August 3

We hope that everyone in the NEARC community is staying safe and healthy during these challenging times. Given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the NEARC board will be keeping a close eye on policies, recommendations, and best practices regarding large gatherings as we move into the Fall. Please know that the health and safety of our NEARC community is our first priority. We are exploring a number of options (including a virtual conference) and will keep everyone informed as to any change of plans.

We are looking forward to reconnecting in the Fall (in whatever format the conference takes). The New Hampshire host committee invites you to submit a presentation for inclusion in the 2020 NEARC Conference (Nov. 16-18) and Educators Day Pre-Conference (Nov. 15)!
