Join Ariana Moir, Education Program Manager at The ILC Public Education Institute, and Carli Velocci, The ILC Communications Specialist, for a poster session at the 2026 NCHE National Conference in Montgomery, Alabama, on how to help grade 5-12 students connect past to present and consider their place in history.

Come learn about The ILC’s Teaching U.S. Immigration Series, which was sponsored in part by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Eastern Region Program, coordinated by Waynesburg University. These lesson bundles offer free, classroom-ready resources that leverage primary sources, activity instructions and other strategies for educators, so they can present a more inclusive, nuanced history and foster critical thinking among their students about migration’s role in shaping American identity and policies.

Registration is now open. We hope to see you there.
