The Uniting Across Campuses Advising Conference is a week away. The conference committee has been working hard and we are excited about all that the conference has to offer this year. I have a few last minute details to share with you, so please read the email below. Specific Dietary Needs (Requests needed by Feb. 19th) If you have any specific food needs (vegan, gluten free), please fill out the form below so that we can let the Ramada know. This is a time sensitive survey as we need to let them know by the end of the day on February 19th. The breakfast, lunch & snacks at the conference are similar to those available last year. Vegetarian options such as salad and ziti will be available in the buffet. You can access the survey (Click here) Registration / Transferring Registration / Conference Sessions If you haven’t registered or know of anyone who hasn’t registered, yet, please register soon.

Optional Networking Sessions (2nd survey) We are hosting two optional networking discussions during lunch this year. Based on your feedback we have selected two topics: First Year Retention & Student Advocacy / Promoting Self Reliance. To prepare for the networking sessions we have created a brief survey to solicit questions and comments about the topics to help guide the discussions. To access the survey (Click Here). Drawing / Giveaways We will be holding a drawing for any items donated to the conference after the last session concludes. If your office or institution has any items you wish to donate for giveaways, please feel free to bring them to the conference or give them to a committee member.

The conference is less than a month away, and we are excited to report that we received a record number of proposals this year. Although it was tough for the committee to decide which proposals to select, the competition made for some very dynamic concurrent sessions this year, the result is a full slate of dynamic presentations. If you haven't signed up for the conference yet, please be sure to register as soon as possible. To keep the costs of the conference down and provide funds for future projects, we are offering a limited number of advertisements in the conference brochure. If you know an institution, business, etc… that might be interested in advertising please visit the following page..
