General Questions

Is the conference different than previous years?

While the timing and length of the 2019 symposium will remain the same, the content will be different. We encourage past attendees to return to the symposium to engage with peers and learn more about how competencies are being integrated on their campus.

My school is bringing multiple people (i.e. career services staff, faculty, student life staff, etc.).
Do we all need to go to the same sessions?

No! There will be separate tracks for beginners and those that are more intermediate/advanced. There will also be an opportunity for affinity groups to meet together, so faculty will be discussing competencies with other faculty, career services staff with other career services staff, etc.

How do I access the symposium attendee list?

A list of symposium attendees, and their home institution, will be provided before the symposium begins. A full list of attendees, with contact information, will be included in the symposium workbook, which you receive at registration.

How can I get a copy of the symposium program?

Relevant symposium details, such as any pre-readings, for example, will be provided to attendees before the symposium. Additional resources and materials will be provided in the symposium workbook, which you will receive upon on-site registration.

What should I wear to the symposium?

The symposium is set in a relaxed atmosphere. We encourage attendees to display their school spirit by wearing their branded golf shirts, etc.! Meeting spaces can be cool so bringing a layer is recommended.

 Are children allowed at the symposium?

Although attendees may bring family members to Columbus, only paid registrants will be permitted to attend symposium events.
