PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Eighth Annual Advisor Week – Call for Proposals for Advisor Conference
REMINDER - Our Eighth Annual Advisor Week is coming soon!!!! We want YOU to participate as a presenter or table discussion leader in our Advisor Conference.
UIC 2020 Advisor Conference - "Impact" - Call for Proposals
As part of Advisor Week, we will host our annual Advisor Conference on Monday, March 23rd and Tuesday, March 24th on the theme of impact through which we can share together . The purpose of this conference is to provide a professional development opportunity to advisors across campus by providing a venue to share their knowledge, interests, and experience.
The conference is divided into two parts - Monday late morning through lunch will be our casual round table discussion session we've been doing for the past two years called "Poster without the Poster" and the Tuesday session will be traditional 50 minute presentation sessions.
Advisors can participate in the two different formats:
Casual Discussion Table as part of the Poster without the Poster Session:
Teach your colleagues about your favorite topic through a casual round table discussion - no posters needed! Some examples from last year's event include tables about Meeting Students Where They Are At, Culture Shock, Advising Students in Teacher Preparation Programs, LAS Advising: Inclusive Excellence Committee, and much more. We want you to share what you would like to discuss!
Conference Sessions - Presentations/Workshops Style:
Our afternoon will be our conference presentation sessions. Presentation styles can range for each 50 minute session and presenters can draw on their work here at UIC in their current position, previous experience and education, or new exploration they are doing.

We encourage you to submit presentation/workshop proposals at https://go.uic.edu/advisorconference by Friday, February 28th. If you don’t yet have a formal proposal, the Advisor Week Team can work together with you on your idea, so please submit an idea since we want you to learn from your knowledge and experience!
We look forward to your responses and we can’t wait for this year’s conference!
Best regards,
Advisor Week Planning Team
