1. OSR January 28, 2012 UMSC meeting.

2. 2012 Central / Southern Regional Meeting Theme: Clarifying the Challenges of 21st Century Medicine March 29 - April 1, 2012 Clearwater, Florida Call for Proposal (just finalized last week) We are soliciting proposals for presentations in all areas of student affairs, including admissions, student records, diversity affairs, financial assistance, student services, student activities, professional development, and career guidance. In keeping with the theme, we are particularly interested in presentations that address how we can clarify the future when providing services to our “customers” (students, applicants, others). By creating a clearly articulated environment that is open, inviting, collegial, and non-threatening, we are more likely to increase recruitment, utilization, compliance, and satisfaction. https://sites.google.com/site/cgsasgsaspringmeeting/home/c all-for-proposals https://sites.google.com/site/cgsasgsaspringmeeting/home/c all-for-proposals
