Leadership Institute and Diversity Practitioners Retreat to Team Up for Open Space Session
We have tremendous expertise within our community of attendees.  Wednesday will be filed with open space sessions, connecting you with those who share similar interests.  Consider presenting or facilitating an open space session on a topic of your choosing.  This could be something you are grappling with at your school, an aspect of your program you would like to feature or a topic around which you have experience and knowledge.  It could be as formal as a presentation or as informal as a conversation.  Click here to learn more.
