Welcome to the Conferences Website!
On this website you will find the schedule, goals/objectives, and even expectations. We will continue to post the conference handouts and slides on this site along with a goal of creating a Shared Evernote Notebook that includes all of this in a convenient location for everyone.
Feedback is essential for all of our improvement, and the faculty greatly appreciate any feedback you all could provide. Please be sure to complete a Conference Faculty Feedback Form at the completion of each conference.
Please feel free to contact contact Dr. Rich or Dr. Putnam with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
