The South Carolina College College Personnel Association (SCCPA) is excited to announce its 2025 SCCPA Conference (rescheduled from Fall 2024). The conference will be held on Friday, June 13, 2025 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern at Columbia College in Columbia, South Carolina. This year's conference theme will be "Navigating Political Discourse and Free Speech in Higher Education," which involves higher education professionals balancing the rights of individuals to express their views with the need to maintain a respectful and inclusive academic environment. This includes but is not limited to campus protests, challenges and tensions from open dialogue, and how higher education professionals can navigate this terrain. This is an excellent opportunity for professionals from across the state and surrounding region to come together, share best practices, and engage in meaningful discussions about this current issue in our field.
