Hello, UPCEA West Region Colleagues!
We are so excited to welcome you to the 2021 Regions Week conference! Each year the UPCEA West Region conference provides us with a chance to step away from our day-to-day routine and get together to share and reflect on how we do business, learn best practices, explore the latest technology and products, visit with old friends, and make new ones.
Our West theme as part of Regions Week 2021is Where Does Higher Ed Go from Here? Sessions provoke new thinking on shaping and defining the future of our work, as well as celebrating the successes of our colleagues.
We are very glad that you’ve joined us online for this week’s conference, and we invite you to make the most of all of the sessions and networking (with colleagues from West, as well as the other regions). Remember that if you are torn between sessions, all general and concurrent sessions are being recorded, so you will be able to experience them all! Please keep in mind that all the times listed on the conference website are Eastern Daylight Time, so please adjust accordingly. (The virtual event platform should automatically adjust times to align with the local time on your device.)
We look forward to connecting with you this week!
