2022 Has Been A Year Of Return:
DET/CHE members are hosting in-person classes on campus, working on-site, monitoring the changing pandemic and striving to understand and attain the “normal operations” we anticipate as nearly at hand.
Join us at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel, November 29 to December 2. Mark your calendars!
James W. Marshall’s discovery of gold in Cullumah Valley of the Nisenan Indians in 1848 ignited the California Gold Rush. This unexpected event spawned several years of focused behavior which had both negative and positive impacts at a national scale. This year we’ll share our discoveries as some of us returned to our physical campuses, while others transitioned away from them. How did you reconnect? What new areas and ideas did you explore?
Join us as we gather for our 37th Annual conference!
Looking forward to seeing you in-person!
Bob Smith
DET/CHE President
