Be prepared for a flurry of UCLA Blue and Gold as we celebrate our 50th Annual TA Conference! There will be in-person sessions on September 18 – 20 (Monday to Wednesday) and Zoom sessions on September 21 – 22 (Thursday and Friday), with lots of opportunities to meet your fellow educators, both new and returning! See our 50th Annual TA Conference Schedule for session dates and times!

There will be programming and events from experienced TAs and professors who will share their best practices and strategies to support equity-focused teaching in Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, STEM, and writing-intensive courses.
