Hi GNPers!

I just realized that I haven’t talked about LinkedIn in what feels like decades. You must have missed it. My apologies.

Here is a fun LinkedIn tidbit (no, I am not getting paid for each time I type the name LinkedIn):

There is a HigherEdJobs group on LInkedIn! Just log into your LinkedIn page (which you all have by now, right? Right?) and go to the Groups tab on top. Search for Higher Ed and it’s the first thing that comes up. Here is the description of the group:

“The purpose of the group is to facilitate discussions between Higher Education professionals about job search strategies, current topics in academia, and college and university careers. Some of your comments posted here may be used in a HigherEdJobs feature!”

Sounds pretty good, right? Right?

You are welcome ;-)

Hi all!

The call just went out for conference proposals! This could mean a few different things for you.

1. You could be starting to think about topics you know a lot about and would like to share.

2. You could be wondering if there was someone out there you could pair up with to create a program.

3. You could be wishing someone would decide to present on _________ and be trying to send them messages telepathically.

This blog can help you with all three! I know, pretty amazing, but true.

1. Follow this link to fill out the Conference Program Proposal Form!

2. Comment on this post or send an e-mail to the GNP list serve at gnp@mywcpa.org to share your ideas and see if anyone else out there would like to work with you.

3. Comment on this post, e-mail the list serve, or call or e-mail me with the topics you would like someone to present on and I will try to find someone. Save the telepathy for helping your fave athlete catch that pass or hit one out of the park.

Problem solved!

Sheila
