The 15th annual Cambio de Colores conference
was a hit
Thank you to all who participated in this
year's conference! We had 170 registered
attendees from 74 different institutions,
including Extension services (32%);
non-governmental organizations (20%); faculty
(17%); students (17%); educators (7%);
university staff (4%); and state/local
government (3%). This mix of participants
– researchers and practitioners from
education, health, economic development and
other fields – is the conference’s greatest
strength.
We had 62 presentations, including nine
workshops, stretched across 25 breakout
sessions. Our four plenary speakers were Drs. Juan
Andrade Jr., Gustavo
Carlo, Edmund ‘Ted’ Hamann, and Sandra
Magaña. This was our second year to have
a poster session and had 14 posters
across many topics.
The conference received overwhelmingly
positive feedback through evaluations
from attendees, including those who praise the
conference for having "such a wide variety of
topics, amazing presenters and speakers, and
so many people with similar views and goals."
The plenary speakers were appreciated for
their "great information and research" and for
being "extremely knowledgeable, passionate,
and engaging." Many participants noted
that the networking possibilities offered by
the structure of the presentations was
one of the best things about the conference.
Footage of Dr. Sandy Magaña's and Dr. Gustavo
Carlo's plenary speeches are now available on
the Cambio Center's YouTube channel.
