Innovations and Initiatives
Showcase
Monday, June 14, 2021
4:00- 4:30pm
The Innovations and Initiatives Showcase promotes the sharing of ideas, information, and advising practices as a core part of our advising culture at UCSC. Join campus staff for a brief overview of their innovation and/or initiative and use this time to ask questions, learn more about the efforts, and the work of those that have made these possible. It is a great opportunity to network and consider how these might connect with your advising practice or work in general!
Check out the Innovations and Initiatives linked below to learn more ahead of the forum.
