> What are the special needs and concerns of adults pursuing their
>educational goals? In 1982, to consider this question, non-traditional
>students and interested faculty at the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford
>designed a conference that addressed this issue. The Adult Learners on
>Campus Conference was born. Each year since then, other campuses in New
>York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have hosted similar sessions where students
>and faculty exchange information through presentations and workshop
>activities. Conference mailing lists have grown to include 2- and 4-year
>colleges and universities from Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and West
>Virginia.
>
> In 1990, because of the growth in conference attendance, the Adult
>Learners on Campus Conference Consortium was created to oversee
>conference structure and organization. In the spirit of the first
>conference, students and faculty continue to work together to increase
>awareness of changing needs and concerns of adult learners on campus.
>
>ALOC 1997
>
> This year the conference will be held at the Venango Campus of
>Clarion
>University of Pennsylvania on October 17-19, 1997. Our theme is Adult
>Learners: A Driving Force for the New Millennium. The shape of services
>provided, programs offered, and issues to be addressed are changing as
>we face the new millennium. How are colleges addressing the needs of
>adult students? What are some of the successful programs and services
>provided on your campus? What motivates adult students to get involved
>in campus activities and programs? What can colleges do to make the
>adult's educational journey easier and more rewarding? What changes have
>we made in how we deliver courses and services? How are adult students
>preparing for entry or reentry into a new, more technological and more
>competitive job market?
>
>We invite adult students and professionals to share insights and ideas
>with colleagues at the 1997 ALOC Conference. Please submit your program
>proposals using the guidelines and proposal form included in this
>mailing to:
