Greetings OCL students. In years past we’ve been able to offer scholarships to attend ASU GSV – a large conference on education innovation (https://www.asugsvsummit.com/).  This year, because of COVID, we don’t have the usual large number of scholarships to include hotel and airfare BUT if you live in the San Diego area or can make your own way there, we do have a handful of scholarships to cover the $3,500 registration fee.  Preference will be given to OCL students in their final year as we hope that by next year things will be back to normal.

If you are interested, send Doug Lynch a short email that describe your professional role and why you are interested in attending (no more than 1 page).  Also let us know your cohort #.  Doug’s email is douglael@usc.edu.

Deadline to submit is Feb 15.
