What our attendees had to say:
“I always enjoy this Conference; I find the sessions informative and like getting updates on the things that are going on around campus. I also get to connect with other Administrators.”
“I enjoyed getting to learn about various departments on campus and seeing what they are working on or what changes have been made. I think that a lot of different staff members on campus could benefit from some of the sessions that were provided. To me, this conference should be targeted to more than just the administrators of academic departments.”
“I really appreciate the chance to participate. Thank you so much for putting conference together, and big kudos to the presenters who stepped up to share their knowledge and quick tips!”
