 Fall 2026 FLEX Day

Friday, August 21, 2026

8:30 am - 4:00 pm

Navigating Change Together

 

Step right up and join us for Fall 2026 Flex Day!
 
The Flex Day Planning Committee, in partnership with the President’s Office, is excited to present Navigating Change Together. With a Vintage Carnival theme because yes, we need to play and win prizes!
 
This year’s Fall Flex Day has been intentionally designed to bring faculty together through a shared experience of learning, collaboration, and connection. Rather than traditional breakout sessions, participants will remain together throughout the day as we explore the opportunities, challenges, and innovations, shaping Mt. SAC and higher education.
 
What is Flex Day, anyway? Fall Flex Day marks the beginning of the academic year for faculty and is part of our contractual professional responsibilities. It is also the College's only required Flex Day. While Spring Flex requirements can be completed through professional development activities throughout the academic year, Fall Flex Day is our one opportunity each year to gather the entire faculty community before classes begin. Some California community colleges have as many as 14 or 15 Flex Days. We have two, so we make them count!
 
Throughout the day, you can look forward to presentations from faculty and campus leaders, interactive lightning sessions by faculty, student perspectives, mindfulness breaks, performances, collaborative activities, and plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the College. Our goal is to provide practical ideas, meaningful conversations, and a few moments of fun along the way.
 
Of course, no Vintage Carnival-inspired event would be complete without prizes! Raffle drawings will take place throughout the day, with additional opportunities to participate in activities and earn extra chances to win.
 
To streamline your experience, there will be one registration link for the entire day, making it easier than ever to participate in all that Flex Day has to offer.
 
Whether you come for the campus updates, the conversations, the prizes, or the snacks, we hope you leave with new ideas, new connections, and renewed energy for the year ahead.
