Conference Program Proposals

One benefit of attending the regional conference is learning from your peers. We know you all have done great things in your job and at your institution and we want to hear about them. Presenting is also a great way to get involved! All experiences levels welcome! All conference sessions will be 60 minutes in length.

Unsure what to present on? Below are some suggestions of topical areas:

  • Work-Study
  • Motivating Student Employees
  • Recruitment strategies
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Communication Strategies
  • Recognition of Student Employees
  • Technical Skills (software, Excel, etc.)

All breakout session presenters will have a special conference registration rate of $300 and will be entered in a drawing to win a 1 year individual MASEA membership. Program proposals are no longer being accepted.
