Organizations Filed Purposes: COPLAC communicates to external and internal constituencies the importance, economic value, and benefits of students engaging in a liberal arts education in the public sector.

Each semester, COPLAC facilitates virtual meetings for various communities of practice to discuss common issues, share resources, and assess best practices. Among the meetings held this year were those for chief academic officers; marketing and communications directors; lifelong learning center directors, etc.
