Don’t Cancel That Class

Do you have something pressing to attend right in the middle of the semester and can't find a sub? Don't Cancel That Class! Whether you are presenting at a conference, chairing your organization's regional meeting, or attending to a personal matter, we know how important it is for you and your students to continue engaging with their coursework. All the presentations are facilitated by one of our department partners and engage your students with relevant topics.

To schedule a presentation, we ask that you provide two weeks' notice to allow time for facilitator confirmation. We aim to confirm within a week to allow for other arrangements, if necessary. If you would like to schedule more than one presentation, there is a space for additional comments.

To schedule an activity for an emergency absence (less than a week's notice) or if you have questions, please contact Amanda Forth or 407-582-5294.
