Are you interested in engaging with our alumni by leading a conference session or hosting an information table?
The Alumni Conference offers multiple ways to connect with WSP alumni and support them as they work towards achieving their educational and professional goals. The conference is grounded in WSP’s commitment to lifelong learning and will be the focus of the following conference components:
- An “academic marketplace” for poster presentations, information tables, and networking opportunities
- Presentations, panel sessions, or practical workshops on leadership development, skills transfer, networking, personal growth, and graduate schools
If your organization is interested in participating, please reach out to the WSP’s director of education, Cassie Sanchez, for more information.
Our Alumni Conference held last year was a great success. It brought together alumni from all over the country to discuss their experiences and share insights on transitioning from military service to academic life. The conference featured engaging panel discussions, networking opportunities, and informative workshops that provided valuable resources for attendees. Overall, it was a meaningful and impactful event that helped strengthen the veteran scholars’ community.
