WACADA Fall Conference*

The WACADA Conference is offered every fall (September) in various locations throughout the state. The conference is a great opportunity to connect with advising colleagues near and far and learn from each other during interactive and informative conference sessions. Take your development to the next level and submit a proposal to present or lead a session at the next fall conference! While the conference is packed full of learning, there is also plenty of fun – from networking socials to local entertainment, it will be a professional event you won’t quickly forget!

WACADA Professional Development Workshops*

The workshops are offered virtually or in person on one or more campuses across the state as an opportunity to dig deeper into advising topics. The winter workshop is typically a half-day event held in the January/February. Professional Development workshops are the perfect way to reconnect with WACADA members.

Webinars

WACADA owns several NACADA webinars that may be borrowed by members in good standing. The webinars run 60 to 90 minutes and are available to borrow for a two-week period.
