I cannot thank either of you enough for the insight and direction you've provided for my first NACADA conference experience. I have been eagerly flipping through pages of past NACADA journals in anticipation of the event. As a 'first-timer' I hope to meet many new colleagues and hopefully leave with lasting communication and friendships. I'm ecstatic to attend and learn from the best professionals in the business!Gary Panettanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352409653651761944.post-89269769317621581182011-03-28T15:22:21.524-04:002011-03-28T15:22:21.524-04:00Thanks for the props, Julie!

The conversations you and I have shared, and the presentations we've worked on since, still form the foundation of my praxis. And the colleagues and friends I made through the Region 2 Mentor program read like a "who's who in region 2" (Ruth Hussey, Terry Musser, Peter Hagen, and the list goes on). I hope you'll be encouraging your grad students to get involved with the Mentoring Program and The Grad Student Thread we have running through the conference this year. They need to have a serious look at PC4, C37, and C53--a great series of presentations specifically focused on Graduate Students looking to break into the field of advising.Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921445108765251640noreply@blogger.com
