Dear OCL Students,
Please the important message below from our Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Jessica Gibson:
Dear students,
I hope that your spring semester is going well. As we reflect on our students’ academic achievements, please know that we also recognize the importance of your professional development.
The Dean is continuing his Student Professional Development Conference Fund in support of our students’ engagement in professional conferences. If you attend a professional conference this spring semester, you can submit a request to receive up to $250 toward the expenses of the conference. To apply, respond to the questions below, and upload your proof of conference registration. The conference date can be between January 1, 2024 and June 1, 2024. You do not need to wait until after the conference to apply for the fund, but you do need to have registered for the conference and be able to present the receipt.
Please note that funding is limited, and will be awarded in the order that completed requests are received. When the total number of available awards have been granted, there will be no further spring opportunities. To be considered, your application must be complete, with thorough responses to the questions on the submission form. Applicants must be registered in a course this term to be eligible.
The application will open on Monday, April 8 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. At that time, to apply, follow this link to answer a few questions and upload your proof of conference registration. As you prepare for the launch of the survey, you can consider your responses to these questions:
- What were your goals for the conference?
- How does the conference content relate to your academic studies?
The Dean is pleased to support your development as you strengthen your professional practice.
Sincerely,
Jessica Gibson
Assistant Dean for Student Affairs
