2024 MCDA Hybrid Conference

Career Development through Change, Adaptability, and Growth

In-Person at University of Baltimore or Virtual on Zoom
9 am - 4:30 pm, Friday, May 17, 2024

This one day Conference will be Hybrid.  The In-person Conference will take place at the University of Baltimore.  Those who choose to attend virtually will use Zoom to access the same content as the in-person attendees and use the Chat feature to ask questions.  Coffee breaks and lunch are included in the In-person registration fee.  We hope you will attend in-person, if possible, to take advantage of the networking opportunities and learn from each other.
