PEPNet Director's Corner

So many service providers are isolated on their own campuses: their colleagues just don't understand The issues or concerns they raise. The PEPNet conference is one place where people get it. I also see people saying, "Why don't we do...?" or "What if we tried....?" after leaving sessions. This is exactly the point of the workshops - the strategies presented are just starting points for participants to take home and apply to their own settings.

 

The most memorable part of the conference for me was the student panel on Saturday afternoon. They were

honest and forthright, and told us their experiences without hesitation. They were complimentary, but they also let us know how things could be better. I watched them and thought, "This is why we do what we do." I can't think of a better way to close the conference.

 

I hope you all have a

productive summer!
