Concurrent Sessions are critical to the educational and developmental purpose of the conference. These sessions are 30, 60, or 90 minutes in length and serve to provide our membership with experiential learning opportunities. The sessions are divided into tracks to assist conference attendees in selecting the sessions they wish to attend. The tracks can be seen as a set so that if an attendee participates in every session in that track, they would have an in-depth understanding of the track area. They could also choose to attend one session in each track providing a general overview of leadership. This process allows for great individual choice in planning attendance at the conference.
As part of the theme Caring on My Mind, three tracks were developed to emphasize different ways in which members experience and develop their caring actions.
Care for Self
Sessions in this track should focus on how members can improve their personal wellness, and could include yoga, guided meditation, goal-setting exercises, or a focus on personal leadership development.
Care for Circles
Sessions in this track should focus on improving circle operations (such as running effective meetings, best practices for recruitment, etc.), or developing connections amongst the circle (teambuilding, group goal-setting, etc.).
Care for Community
These sessions should focus on how O∆K members can improve their campuses and communities. Sessions could include innovative programs, strategies for developing new partnerships, how to utilize your O∆K experiences in post-collegiate settings, etc.
