POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
Wednesday, February 22, 2006:

NEW for 2006 are Post-Conference Workshops offered in the areas of Undergraduate Admissions, Graduate Studies and Liaison. While Managers are welcome to attend, we encourage support staff who may not typically attend the OURA Conference to take part in these Workshops to share ideas and information with their colleagues who do similar work at other universities.

Note, while some workshops are focused on either Graduate Studies Admissions or Undergrad Admissions, registrants are free to choose whichever workshops are of interest to them, regardless of the area of focus indicated as there will be information of common interest to both undergrad and graduate admissions in most sessions.

Note that the post-conference workshop for Liaison staff is limited to those involved in Liaison work
