2018 OSUAP Conference a success
OSUAP’s Seventh Annual Professional Development Conference, held on June 13, was a success! Almost 200 of our peers attended this day-long conference at the Fawcett Center.
Seventy-five admins attended the pre-conference session, Jumpstart Resources, geared toward those who are new to the role or new to Ohio State.
The day kicked-off with a video welcome from President Drake and an inspired keynote by Danielle Revish. Those messages prepared attendees for a day filled with networking and learning.
Keynote Speaker Danielle Revish
The Executive Panel Discussion with Kim Shumate (moderator), Susan Basso, Mike Hofherr, Damon Jaggars and Amanda Lucas provided great insights and practical advice for administrative professionals at Ohio State.
Morning and afternoon breakout sessions ranged in topics from Managing Difficult Conversations, De-Stress for Success to technology sessions like the Three C’s of Outlook and Maximizing the BuckeyeBox and Qualtrics. A few of the sessions were facilitated by our admin peers.
The conference ended with an energizing and motivating presentation by Courtnee Carrigan. The CEO of Raising the Bar, celebrated the contributions of administrative professionals, individually and collectively, with her talk, “YOU are the answer!”
