PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

OD Academic Panel

Presenters: Dr. Jeff Haldeman, Dr. Janet Kirby & Amy Quarton Dambacher

Globalization.  Virtual work.  Contingent workforces.  Talent shortages.  The workforce is changing at a seemingly rapid pace, but keeping up with emerging research trends and hot topics in the field can be difficult for even the most intellectually curious OD professional.  Brush up on your current research knowledge with our academic panel of experts from Webster, Benedictine, and Maryville universities. 

The panelists will discuss what is happening at the local level as well.  Specifically, what are students in OD and related programs concerned about?  What are best practices for developing meaningful relationships with university programs?  What organizations do students most want to work for and why?  Come discuss the macro and micro levels of our field.
