Speaking
You are invited to get involved! Let us know if you would like
to be considered for a speaking opportunity at an APSCU event or
webinar. We are always looking for avenues that provide
opportunities for our members to share their expertise. Please take a
moment and let us know what your area of interest is by providing an
overview of your proposed educational session or webinar topic.
Webinars
Plans are currently underway to build upon the success of the
2010-2011 series of APSCU Professional Development Webinars and we are
looking for presenters with innovative topic ideas. The APSCU
professional development committee is now accepting proposals for
webinars focusing chiefly on retention, placement, and faculty
development as well as any “hot topics” with relevant value
to our school members.

need to be covered in one hour, including time for Q&A. All webinars
will continue to be FREE to APSCU members. Legislative update and
compliance webinars will continue to be covered by the APSCU Government
Relations Department on an “as-needed” basis. Professional
Development Webinars will be offered approximately once every month.
If you would like to submit a webinar proposal for consideration,
please email a short descriptive paragraph along with the PowerPoint
slides, if available, with full contact information, to APSCU Program
