The second annual Adelante Training and Development Conference starts Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. and concludes on Thursday.
“The Difference You Make”
The theme for this year’s conference will focus on the tremendous impact OLLU employees have on our students.
Breakfast Tacos, Welcome and Prayer:
The morning will kick off with breakfast tacos, a welcome from President Abel Chávez and a Prayer Ritual.
Morning Keynote Workshop:
Service Excellence presented by Trellis Strategies
Trellis recently conducted a survey and focus groups with OLLU students to tailor the workshop to the OLLU experience. Trellis will share how every member of the staff contributes to service excellence. Whether you are working directly with students, or your work is more behind the scenes, this presentation is for you.
Afternoon Concurrent Sessions:
Afternoon concurrent sessions will focus on a variety of topics, including technology uses and refreshers, campus safety, student engagement and retention, human resources policies and procedures, and self-care.

Closing Reception:
A wine and cheese reception hosted by Dr. George Williams will close out the first day.
