DRIVE IN WORKSHOPS

CAPPA is aware there is some informal activity in the region, including Kansas and Oklahoma. These efforts offer education to the hosting institution and regional guests ‘outside’ the formal Drive-In workshops. The CAPPA Board has encouraged host institutions to keep us advised about these opportunities.

ACADEMY ON CAMPUS

CAPPA has made Academy on Campus available to the region since 2014. Registration has averaged 17 to these sessions. While most attendance is within the region, there is usually 1-2 attending each session from other regions. We are again working to make AOC available at the 2017 annual conference (joint with MAPPA).
