Whether it is hosting counseling sessions, managing projects, budgets, or team communications, creatively marketing events, analyzing data... mastering tools and software helps us be more efficient at what we do!

Join us to hear lightning talks from three fellow GCCers on tools and software they love:

• a free self-assessment tool created for students and free to use at other institutions
• using a combination of Airtable and Luma to manage complex projects and events
• using Zoom and Qualtrics in tandem to measure and communicate about participation in events

Each lightning talk will last 10 minutes and will be followed by a 5 minute Q&A. The lightning talks portion of the event will be recorded, and the Zoom recording will be shared with all registrants.We will also have a non-recorded period of Q&A and exchange with all the speakers after the three lightning talks are over.
