Student Affairs Networking & Learning Opportunity

Surfing the Waves of Change
Monday, August 31, 2009
8:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Light lunch and refreshments provided!
Institute of the Americas: Weaver Conference Room


Please join us for the inaugural UCSD Graduate Staff Mini-conference. Our goal is to create a venue that not only facilitates information sharing and networking, but also empowers UCSD Graduate Staff to better manage “more with less” as we start an academic year filled with unknown challenges in graduate student affairs. A program will be specifically developed and presented by Human Recourses Staff Member Dr. Bernadette Han and small group discussion sessions will be conducted to address your top concerns.

Please respond with your top 4 discussion topics for the afternoon break-out sessions ASAP and no later than August 14, 2009; the top most requested topics will be discussed. Examples: 1. Graduate Travel and Research Grants and 2. Developing Graduate Enrichment Programs.

RSVP’s will be collected via EVITE (link sent in a follow-up email, so stay tuned). We’re looking forward to seeing you there- PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS. Let us know if you have any questions.
