2/7/2019 - 2/8/2019

Join your Southeast GCC Colleagues for a regional meeting hosted by Duke University Career Center in Durham, North Carolina. The major theme of the meeting will be on diversity. We’ll explore how we can better understand the needs of diverse student populations, and how we can better meet those needs. After that, we’ll have shorter sessions on individual development planning and efforts to engage our various stakeholders. We’ll finish with a share-out session during which participants can show what they’re doing at their institutions.
 
There is no registration fee; however, you must be a paid GCC member to attend. Questions about the event may be directed to Dave McDonald: dave.mcdonald@duke.edu
