As we all begin to get back into the swing of advising and with students returning to classes next week, the BAAC Professional Development Committee would like to offer support and updates for professional development for advisors.

1. This Friday at 12:00pm, BAAC PDC will be hosting a Virtual Lunch and Chat via Zoom. Stop by and chat with your colleagues during a time when we are all figuring out how we can work together to support students.
2. All BAAC sponsored events for the Spring are cancelled.
3. The requirements for the 2019-2020 BAAC Professional Development Certificate are going to be flexible this year, in light of COVID-19 and cancellation of in-person professional development events.  In order to earn the BAAC Professional Development Certificate you must:
   • Attend Fall Meeting or Spring Conference (these have already passed).
   • Attend 5 professional development events total.  This includes any BAAC sponsored events or outside events that you have already attended.

4. BAAC has a list of webinars and other professional development events that you may utilize.  If you attend one of these events, please be sure to complete the outside event form, so that it can be counted in your total events.
