PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Seventh Annual Advisor Week: CALL for Proposals for Advisor Conference
UIC 2019 Advisor Conference - "Building Bridges - Share, Collaborate, Learn!"
As part of Advisor Week, OAD will host our annual Advisor Conference on Tuesday, March 26th on the theme of building bridges through which we can share, collaborate, and learn. 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 day is divided in two parts - the morning will be our casual round table discussion session we began last year called "Poster without the Poster" and the afternoon 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 inaugural event include tables about the LARES/LAS Cohort Collaboration Initiative, the Flames Leadership Network, and Transfer Success. 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, March 1st. 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
