New OCPA Conference Collaboration: GSAC & Careers Join Forces

We are excited to announce a new vision for our conference collaboration to support our mission of facilitating the sharing and creation of knowledge and best practices. Moving forward, the Graduate Student Affairs Conference (GSAC) will be incorporated into the Careers in Student Affairs Conference. 

Specifically, this will enhance and produce collaborative partnerships among students, practitioners, faculty, and professional associations and enhancing the experience of all conference attendees by:

• increasing the opportunities for networking, collaboration, and learning across all types of members
• providing graduate students opportunities to attend and present to a broader audience in the same location for one low-cost 
• supporting the graduate student focus of GSAC within the established administrative structural support of the Careers Conference  
• enabling attendees to discover the possibilities of choosing a career in higher education at every level-- from the perspectives of graduate students through senior student affairs officers.

The graduate student experience will maintain it's unique identity within the larger Careers Conference context including a specialized track and networking opportunities-- for and by graduate students. You can help us shape what this will look like in the inaugural year-- we are accepting Careers Conference Planning Team Members; express interest & apply at this link.

Professional Development Institutes and the Anual Conference will continue as they traditionally have-- check out this link to learn more about the upcoming virtual book club opportunity. 

Finally, be sure to save the date & join us in Athens at Ohio University on Saturday, October 17th for the 2020 Careers in Student Affairs conference!
