Hands-On Education to Enhance Your Discipline-Specific Skills

For several years, ACHA has offered Pre-Conference Workshops on the first day of the Annual Meeting. Our general sessions are designed to meet a wider range of needs among our attendees – something for everyone, if you will, or at least everyone in a certain discipline. The workshops, however, are tailored to meet a more specialized need and give participants a chance to hone their skills in a more hands-on approach. 

Pre-conference workshops go beyond the lecture format and even the question-and-answer make-up of many sessions. There is an emphasis on interactivity as well as intense discussions, enabling attendees to really get at the meat of the matter and develop the specific competencies they need in their discipline. 

In the workshops, you won’t just learn how to do something – you’ll get to practice or discuss it before you take it home to your campus. What better way to be able to share your newly-acquired knowledge with colleagues who couldn't attend the Annual Meeting? 

You’ll get a crash course in effective leadership in the boot camps for health/counseling center and health promotion directors; you’ll practice some of the evidence-based approaches to enhancing students’ resilience to stress and trauma triggers; you’ll delve deep into examining best practices in prescribing contraceptives. These are just a few of the exciting topics being covered in the pre-conference workshops.

Visit the 2014 Annual Meeting site to see the full list of workshops and CE credits available.

Each workshop is three hours long and will take place on Tuesday, May 27 at either 9:00 am - 12:00 pm or 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm. You must pre-register and purchase a ticket ($50 per workshop) to attend the workshops. If you have already registered for the meeting and want to add a workshop, simply go back into the registration site, use the login information you used when you registered, and add the ticket. You can do this any time until May 9; after May 9, you can purchase tickets onsite if they are still available. Please note that the workshops sell out quickly, so reserve your spot today!
