This 2012-2013 class will be the first class to have joint participates from both OASFAA and OCAN in the program, and we are confident that this class will be just as successful as their predecessors.

The graduation of the class will take place at the OASFAA Spring conference. The Spring program will be facilitated by Kathy Dickson, Director of Bluffton University’s Career Development Center, who will lead the class through the “StrengthFinders” results. On April 11th we had a webinar led by Jeff King, Associate Professor and Director of OSU Leadership Center to kick off the final preparation for the Leadership Class Session at Spring Conference. The theme of this leadership class is “Go for the Gold” and will be carried out through the sessions, and the conference theme “Finding a Solution together: one piece at a time”. The Leadership Class responsibility is for the first day of Conference with a Graduation presentation at Lunch on Monday May 6 th. The OASFAA/OCAN Don Chenelle Leadership Class of 2012-2013 is comprised of OASFAA/OCAN members who were selfnominated or were nominated by a colleague. All are full-time employees who are committed to helping student’s access higher education. Some have been in their positions for just a few months while others have been in the field many years.
