Upcoming Conferences: Call for volunteers and scholarship for registration
Hello USC Rossier students,
Here are two upcoming opportunities in which you might be interested:
First: The Education Writers Association is coming to USC on May 16-18. Five hundred of the nation’s education reporters will be here to learn and network and meet educators and professors who are leading their fields, including several faculty members from USC Rossier. The university is looking for volunteers to help out during smaller sessions by doing some light room management—making sure microphones are turned on, helping connect laptops to projectors if needed, etc. All volunteers will be able to attend conference sessions for free ($700 value). If you would be interested in volunteering, please let me know (rossbren@rossier.usc.edu). Here is more information about the national seminar: https://www.ewa.org/71st-ewa-national-seminar. Please note that this event is the week after commencement.
Second: USC Rossier has several scholarships to attend the Wednesday, April 18 session at the ASU+GSV conference. The ASU+GSV Summit attracts more than 4,000 leaders from across the learning and talent spectrum. Attendees will include leaders from the enterprise, investment, higher education and PreK–12 communities. The scholarship waives the registration fee ($900 value); attendees will be responsible for their own travel. Here’s the agenda for Wednesday: https://www.asugsvsummit.com/agenda/Wednesday. If you are interested and available to attend this conference, please contact Doug Lynch at douglael@usc.edu.
NatCon 2019 Call for Proposals and Reviewers Now Open!
Student Veterans of America (SVA) will hold its 11th Annual National Conference (NatCon) at the Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida, January 3-5, 2019. NatCon is an annual forum that strengthen ties between the veteran and higher education communities. As the largest gathering of student veterans, higher education leaders, policy makers, and stakeholders—making NatCon the premier event for improving veteran success. Be part of the #NatCon2019 program. Submit your breakout session proposal today!
SVA encourages proposals that advance knowledge and understanding of a wide range of topics relating to veterans in higher education. Proposals should address relevant topics on chapter/club management and sustainability, student veteran experiences throughout their educational life cycle—to, through, and beyond college, and higher education policies, programs, and services; increase the knowledge and skills of veterans, students, higher education professionals, and the public; and promote the continued development and growth of the field.
Those who work within and across such fields as veterans, higher education, college students, disability studies, alumni relations, chapter-based management and sustainability, leadership, public policy; and those in state and federal agencies, philanthropic organizations, veteran service organizations (VSOs), higher education associations, and other entities that work with or in the veteran or higher education spaces are welcome to submit proposals for consideration.
For more details on #NatCon2019 Call for Proposals download and review the Proposal Submission Guidelines. For updates on #NatCon2019 visit the conference website.
We are also looking for volunteers to help score and recommend proposals for #NatCon2019. The strength and success of NatCon’s breakout session stems from the rigor of our review process. Each year, the NatCon Proposal Committee receives diverse proposals covering a multitude of topics. We need a diverse group of reviewers to mirror the diversity of proposals. Reviewers from all backgrounds have knowledge and skills gained from their professional and personal experience that would be useful in providing comments and recommendations for #NatCon2019 proposals. This is a great opportunity for professional development in learning about a conference’s Call for Proposal process and you will help make the #NatCon2019 program our best yet. To learn more about the proposal review process, please see our Call for Reviewers announcement.
