While the timing and length of the 2021 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.
At the 2021 symposium, we will follow a different format than in 2019. All attendees will follow one track. However, beginners or anyone who needs a refresher can attend the Pillar Primer session at lunch on Wednesday, May 20. There will also be an opportunity for affinity groups to meet together – functional area affinity groups and institution type affinity groups. Faculty will be discussing competencies with other faculty, career services staff with other career services staff, large four-year institutions with other large four-year, two-year schools with other two-year schools, etc.
A list of symposium institutions 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.
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.
The symposium is set in a relaxed atmosphere. We encourage attendees to display their school spirit by wearing their branded polo shirts, etc.! Meeting spaces can be cool so bringing a layer is recommended.
Although attendees may bring family members to Austin, only paid registrants will be permitted to attend symposium events.
