SPARC National Conference 2024

Still trying to answer the “What does your department do all year?” question? Feeling buried in tasks, but not sure how to advocate for yourself or your team? Or maybe you’re one of the adventurous explorers who has already started forging your own SPARC Compass path, but you’re curious to hear how others are using this tool for managing logistics, projects, and more. We will begin with a panel of Compass users from departments and programs of various sizes who will share their custom tweaks, strategies, innovations, and poignant moments of success after one year of Compass implementation. From there, you’ll have the opportunity to join a working group to further develop your own Compass tool. Participants will leave with an updated model of their own Compass and a network of other users to further collaborate with during monthly SPARC Waypoint sessions.

Participants should bring a laptop and a copy of their Compass (if available). Previous use of the SPARC Compass is not required for this workshop!
