Guest speaker, Sally Garner, lead OSU advisors in an engaging workshop on Creating a Professional Development Plan. Sally is the NACADA Region 8 Chair and Director of Student Services at the UO School of Journalism. Workshop participants reflected on their advising “major” (aka. special focus area within advising) and work values. Sally described how to craft your personal mission statement, which outlines the guiding principles of your career, as well as a 30-second elevator speech, which allows you to articulate your mission to others. The presentation and handouts from today’s workshop are posted here. Full presentation: CreatingPDplan Handout: PDplan_handout
