Typical educational session that you have come to know and love from past conferences. Generally, these include an overview presentation, discussion, and Q&A.
Example topics may include: academic interventions in student activities programs, creating training workshops for resident advisors, job searching in the field of student affairs.
Abbreviated conference session geared toward a more focused singular topic or a short and innovative presentation.
May involve less discussion and more information sharing as a presentation.
Example topics may include: using a specific social media platform as a student engagement tool, converting a resume into a curriculum vitae (CV), negotiating your first professional job offer.
Longer session designed to incorporate more and deeper discussion than a standard concurrent session.
Because these sessions are intended to be presented as a roundtable, presenters are encouraged to maintain substantive dialogue, rather than conduct a formal presentation.
Example topics may include: case studies on crisis management, emerging research from doctoral dissertations, deep dives into contemporary issues facing the field of higher education.
Posters will be displayed for the duration of the conference, but presenters will have an opportunity to showcase their poster during specific sessions.
Example topics may include: emerging themes from a literature review for a grad school project, results of a pilot study, implementing strategies from a book, or evidence-based practices.
This year, the Annual Conference planning team developed a full website with all of your educational session information available in one place.
We're excited to upgrade your Conference experience!
Block room rate valid until January 5, 2024.
