Alyssa and Olivia talk with Jacqueline Smilack, the new President of the Colorado Language Arts Society (CLAS). CLAS is Colorado's affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and Denver was set to host NCTE's 110th Annual Convention. With the COVID-19 pandemic, that conference has moved online, and Jaqueline discusses the features of the convention amidst all the challenges in shifting such a large event to a new setting.
