The Ohio Association of Student Personnel Administrators and the Ohio College Personnel Association are pleased to announce their upcoming conference to be held January 29-30, 2004, at the Radisson Worthington in Worthington, Ohio. The conference will feature keynote speaker Judy L. Rogers of Miami University discussing “What is the Role of Spirituality in Student Affairs Work?” The address will ask, how is our teaching, leading and advising different if we incorporate the spiritual? How can we include the spiritual dimension in appropriate ways in our practice to better accompany students in their search for meaning, purpose and values? Judy Rogers will explore these questions from the perspective that our inner lives matter in our work.

The pre-conference workshop, “Educating Ourselves to Understand Our Differences” will feature three presentations including keynote speaker, Jim Ewers of Miami University-Middletown. His presentation, entitled “Will the Battle for Equal Educational Access Ever Be Over” will focus on recent court cases and their implications for students and faculty of color. Participants will leave with strategies for developing networks and partnerships and empowered to make a difference on their campus.

Conference participants will have the opportunity to choose from over forty unique program presentations during seven session times. New at this year’s conference will be a resume review program for new professionals and graduate students. Graduate students are encouraged to participate in the annual Dr. Robert A. Dubick Case Study Competition. In addition to two catered luncheons, conference attendees will enjoy an afternoon reception where OASPA and OCPA annual awards will be announced.

Please find attached workshop and conference schedules, registration form, resume review program submission form and case study information.
