We are now accepting proposals for the 2019 Ohio Association of Two-Year Colleges (OATYC) conference, which is scheduled at Marion Technical College in Marion, Ohio, on Friday, October 11, 2019. The theme is “Ohio’s Voice: Becoming the Next Higher Ed Stars.”
We are looking for presentation proposals that will elevate our programs to become the talk of the town. We want to rise to the top and have our colleges and students in the limelight. To become Ohio’s Voice, we will need some help to transform ourselves.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- “We’ll need the look” – designing instructional materials to engage students and developing a visual identity especially on social media;
- “We’ll need the voice” – having effective communication in the classroom & in general, having open communication channels, & writing for social media;
- “We’ll need an entourage” – surrounding yourself with the right team & support staff, developing strong relationships with the community, alumni & donors, & getting involved with causes/fundraising/awareness projects;
- “We’ll need to embrace the paparazzi” – dealing with bad press/mistakes or crisis management, providing great customer service online through social media, and being camera-ready by designing & maintaining a clean, green campus.
All presentations will be 30 minutes at the 2019 OAYTC conference. There will be an opportunity for poster session that is informal and set up in the common area too.
