PD Information

All University of Alberta graduate students must complete 8 hours of professional development (PD) activities as part of their program. This year at ReCON XII, we are offering ONE session (worth 1.5 hours) that can count towards this requirement.

After the session, ReCON organizers will provide a form for you to fill out and sign for PD hours to be recognized.

Please note: you may only receive credit for the panel discussion if you are present for the entire discussion.
