Along with hosting the AERC 2010, the College of Continuing Education will also co-host the Third Annual Western Regional Research Conference in Adult Education (June 3- 5), the African Diaspora, Asian Diaspora, Latino/a Diaspora,  and the Gay, Lesbian, Queer and Transgendered Pre-Conferences (June 3).  These pre-conferences have been held since 1993 prior to the start of the conference.
