DRIVE-IN WORKSHOPS
Our educational drive-in workshops are being extended to two-day events providing a great opportunity to obtain an update on higher education topics that are pertinent to you and your school in a cost-effective way. We invite business officers from colleges and universities that are within a 2-3 hour drive of the host site to these such that participants can attend without the requirement of an overnight room stay. One day will be an introduction to Higher Ed focused on individuals of all levels who are new to the Higher Ed industry. The second day will be similar to past workshops with various higher education topics. Both days will traditionally run from 9:00am–4:00pm with a break for lunch. CPE is offered for attendees (usually around 6 hours). Besides providing beneficial educational opportunities, the workshop also provides networking opportunities to institutions close to your campus.
