It’s time to start thinking about planning Coffee Talks for the 2013-2014 academic year. Terina McLachlain will be stepping off her two year term as a Coffee Talk Coordinator. Mary Chuinard and Brianna Beene will be continuing for another year. If you are interested in serving on this committee please contact Mary at mary.chuinard@oregonstate.edu. The time commitment is very manageable and there is plenty of opportunity for you to contribute your ideas.

We will be sending out an end of the year survey asking for your feedback and assessment of this year’s format (one hour informal sessions and a two hour professional development session each term), our choice of topics and your needs for professional development in the future. Please watch for it and take the time to respond.If you have topics, guest speakers, or workshops you would like to suggest please let us know.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank all those who volunteered to share information with us and who supported the OSU Advising community. We would especially like to thank Susie Brubaker Cole for her whole-hearted support and commitment to the Advisor Coffee Talks.

And last but not least a BIG thank you to Java Stop and Peet’s Coffee for donating coffee to our meetings!
