About the Conference
This year's conference will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center in San Marcos, home of many local attractions and centrally located between Austin and San Antonio.
Conference dates are February 17-19, 2010. From the afternoon on Wednesday to lunch on Friday, we will have three busy, yet fun-filled days of advising instruction & training, expert advice, networking, and of course a journey through Oz! The Conference theme and presentations will focus on innovative advising ideas and practices from across the state, and will focus on students’ journey to success in higher education. “Students’ Road to Success: The Advising Journey to Oz” addresses very relevant elements of advising in terms of student issues and advisor approaches, theories, and practices.
We invite you to be creative and thoughtful and submit presentation proposals that focus on a students' journey to success and tie in the relevant themes of the Wizard of Oz. Some examples are, the development of students' and advisors' brains, dealing with homesickness and courage, and developing the heart of students and advisors in higher education. |
