RCCC faculty members served as conference moderators and organizers. Frankie Lyons, radiography program head, worked as the educators chair for the event. Terry Chapman, dean of health and public services technologies, provided a session presentation titled “What’s Your VARK?” The session was interactive and designed to help students determine their personal learning style.
