SCOLT Welcome Letter 4

Scholarships - SCOLT regularly offers a variety of scholarships for teachers and students alike. You’ll learn more about these and this year’s recipients at the Opening General Session.

Exhibitors and Sponsors - Be sure to visit the exhibit hall to see what the 40+ vendors have to share! We are grateful to our generous sponsors who have helped us to provide so much for our attendees! Sponsors have provided conference bags, hand sanitizer, lanyards, as well as funds for the conference app and program guide, technology needs, breaks and breakfasts, the leadership luncheon, and of course, our Sponsors and Patrons reception. Thank you to our exhibitors and sponsors!

Venue - The Norfolk Waterside Marriott on the Elizabeth River Waterfront in downtown Norfolk is the perfect location. You’re sure to enjoy the conference facilities, the hotel, and of course the fun options available throughout the conference.

This year’s theme, Inclusion is about US All, was chosen to remind us of our collective responsibility to ensure all voices are heard both inside and outside of the classroom. This mindset characterizes all elements of the planning of this conference through our partnerships with FLAVA, SEALLT, and ACTFL. We hope that you receive and embrace this year’s conference as an occasion to speak and be heard, to exchange ideas, and to receive validation of the importance of your presence.

Regards,

Bobby Hobgood, Ed.D.

SCOLT President 2020-2022
