Join us on September 26-27, 2025 for the Heterodox Academy (HxA) Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference at the University of Maryland's College Park Campus, a nationally recognized arboretum and botanical garden. 

This gathering will bring together HxA Campus Communities from Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, and welcomes faculty and staff from any institution of higher education across the region—whether you're already an HxA member steeped in the HxA way or just “HxA curious.”

Conference Details (so far):

• Start: Friday, September 26 at 5:00 PM
• End: Saturday, September 27 at 5:00 PM
• Welcome reception and dinner on Friday with a panel hosted by the Dean of the Robert H Smith School of Business.
