Rachel Osterman's Reflection on the 2013 NACADA Annual Conference

As a first-time attendee, I was able to soak up tons of new information at NACADA’s Annual Conference. I attended sessions that addressed topics like cultural competence, motivation, positive psychology, advising theory, retention, etc. I was also able to meet adviors from across the region and nation.

Jill Wilson's Reflection on the NACADA Annual Conference 2013

This was my first NACADA conference and I feel very fortunate that I was able to go.  I attended nine different sessions over three days.  My goal was twofold: first to learn more about specific student populations with whom I have not had much experience, and second to learn ways to be better at the day-to-day details of my job.
