The sessions we’ve lined up will help attendees learn to manage change, build skills for having difficult conversations, and learn more about the higher ed landscape. We’ll have Chris Kacir from the Ohio Department of Higher Education talking with us about state policy changes and student success. We'll learn about incorporating a holistic approach to student wellness in the Collections process, and learn lessons from experienced leaders about their career development. Bryan Dickson from NACUBO will provide us a Washington Update, and we’ll be joined by the Ohio Attorney General as well. And, as always, we’ll have roundtable discussions and open forums to give schools a chance to share solutions and grow connections.
We’re also piloting a new set of breakout sessions on Thursday afternoon called “Bursar Basics” designed for staff that are new to the Bursar’s office. Attendees in these sessions will learn about the basic roles and responsibilities in the Bursar’s office, get a Financial Aid overview, and have a primer on Collections and loan management. Spaces in the Bursar Basics session will be limited, so it will be first-come first-served based on registration.
