What is Slack?

Slack is a remote communication tool that we will be using to host additional conversation before, during, and after the Zoom presentations.

We recommend that you create an account with Slack and join our Slack workspace [link was here] before the event, but this is not necessary.

We encourage you to make connections in this space! You can access the space before, during, and after the event.

You have the ability to chat with students and other guests in large channels grouped according to the schools at Oakland University.

You can use these channels to talk about students' thesis projects, relevant job opportunities, or anything related to students in these schools.

The channels include :

• all-participants : event-wide announcements and communication with all guests and participants in the event

• arts-and-sciences : OU's College of Arts and Sciences

• business-administration : OU's School of Business Administration

• education-human-services : OU's School of Education and Human Services

• engineering-computer-science : OU's School of Engineering and Computer Science

• health-sciences : OU's School of Health Sciences

• nursing : OU's School of Nursing

Feel free to move throughout the different channels depending on your interests.

You can also send direct messages to make individual connections.

However, we recommend that you do not use this Slack space for communication while attending any live Zoom presentations. Instead, use the Zoom live chat for any discussions related to a presentation while it is happening.

Please Note!!

This Slack workspace will be open for public use for a limited time after the event.

On April 16th, 2021, the space will be closed.

If you would like to keep in touch with any connections you make through this event, we recommend that you move off of this Slack workspace and onto another platform such as LinkedIn or email.
