The
institutes provide intensive, focused uninterrupted time
for administrative teams to address a specific issue or concern—something we never get at our home institution! The atmosphere is 110% supportive, from the faculty to other participants. Everyone kept asking whether we were getting what we needed. The resounding answer was "YES!"

I
felt the conference was one of the most practical conferences I
have ever attended. The segmenting into small groups of like institutions
with common concerns allowed me to return to campus and immediately
implement ideas developed at the conference. I recommend it as a
high priority to any advising administrator.
