Heading to Louisville for #ADPTDC14? Over the next two weeks leading up to our June 5-7 ADP/TDC Joint National Meeting in this City of Compassion, we’ll be highlighting reasons that we’re #LovinLouisville.

Reason #4? Themed Session Strands

We’ve made the #ADPTDC14 program even easier to follow, with the incorporation of thematic session strands. Throughout the program, you will find that many sessions, from lightning rounds to concurrent sessions, have been labeled with one or more themes to allow meeting participants to quickly identify the primary content of a session. These selected sessions have been designated as part of one or more of nine different thematic strands.  Based on your interests, you can choose to attend sessions in one or more strands.  You will be able tell at a glance whether or not a session fits with your interests.  Again, these strands are not meant to limit you in any way, but rather to allow you to tailor an expansive program to your unique interests and make the experience your own.

The thematic strands and their abbreviations within the mobile app are as follows:

• Students (Stu)
• Partnerships (Par)
• Assessment (Asmnt)
• Civic Pathways (CP)
• Political Engagement (Pol)
• eCitizenship (eC)
• Discourse Dialogue and Deliberation (DDD)
• Civic Learning (CL)
• Bridging Cultures (BC)
